Help with Wader identification

["Gavin Jackson" <>]

Can anyone help with a wader identification seen at the Western Treatment
Plant, Werribee today.  The bird is the same size and outline as the Double
Banded Plovers it was feeding with.  It had a black or very dark leg flag on
its left leg.  The bird is light brown and white but stands out as whiter
than other birds.  It has 6-8 white spots on its folded wings each approx
5-8 mm.  White head with brown streaks and dark bill and legs.  I assume
it's probably an aberrant Double Banded Plover but the dark leg flag
(Japan?) may indicate something else.



Thanks
