Hello Jenny, it's a young Red-kneed Dotterel, many people have trouble with 
them at this age, cheers Jeff Davies.

HI List,
I was birding at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, NSW yesterday & saw an 
unfamiliar Dotterel with the Black-Fronted Dotterel. I managed several photos, 
although they are not very good because they birds are so little and weren’t 
close! At the time I thought it was probably a juvenile BFD although it was a 
bit larger than the adults and they were ignoring it. However, searching on the 
internet, the few photos I can find of juveniles & chicks show them with the 
black mask and white eyebrow when when tiny. I wondered if it could be a young 
Red-Kneed Dotterel, but have been unable to find much in the way of online 
photos.
I would appreciate any opinions on the identity of the bird.
