Hi guys,

Yes, this was photographed in Australia but unfortunately that is all I know. This was posted on the Birding Oz forum and a fair few of the people there called it a Grey Plover. It looked like a PGP to me so I thought I would post it here.

Thanks very much for the help guys!

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

I would say pacific golden plover. Slightness of bird and colouration main indicator. Did the bird run quickly and then stop and lean forward like a ballet dancer to feed. This is very golden plover. Grey plover has black under armpits in flight.

    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!
