G'day Sebastian,
While I agree that the earlier posting was a Grey Plover I would identify
this one as a worn juvenile Pacific Golden Plover with a longish bill.
Key features for me are well defined cap contrasting with rather plain face,
discrete ear-spot, relatively long legs compared to body length and most
importantly longer length of exposed tibia before feathered trouser than you
would find on a Grey Plover.
Cheers Jeff Davies.

Subject: Plover ID help please
Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster. We are just having some doubts over
the ID on this bird on Birding Oz. Is it a Pacific Golden Plover or a
Grey Plover?
I would definitely appreciate some expert help on this one!
