As to the species, because of its rear end structure and leg length, it is a
Pacific Golden Plover. I would have thought the spotting indicates a
juvenile but the spots seem to be more white than yellow and in any case it
is far too early for a juvenile to be here. Having discussed it with Danny
Rogers we think it is a first year bird and one that is likely to have
overwintered in Australia. They do so more commonly in northern Australia
than in the south.
