This morning this guy was running around a puddle between Dunlop and NSW

The puddle unless it rains tonight will be gone tomorrow.

My question: is he "officially" a black-fronted dotterel or a plover?

A supplementary question (no doubt asked in the past): who or what is the authority on "common names"?
