Plover ID help please

[Sebastian M <>]

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
