Plover ID help

[Christopher Watson <>]

Those of us living in deserts aren't so flash on wader ID. Can anyone help
me with this one I found at the sewage ponds in Alice Springs today.

I'm 90% sure it is a Pacific Golden Plover, but looking in some of the field
guides I almost think the bill is too chunky, the head a bit big, the way
the pattern on the forward edge of the wing cuts up a little further back -
perhaps could be a Grey Plover.

Can some wader savant out there give me a hand?
