Adult female Red-capped Plovers are so variable and HANZAB states "first
immatures are very similar to the dullest adult females, and difficult to
distinguish unless a few retained juvenile inner wing-coverts can be seen."
I would suggest that your bird has too much red on the head to be an
immature so is most likely an adult female.
