OK, let's start with the serious stuff. I grabbed this on SF bay very late this afternoon. My last post of this species
was in the downstroke; here - in the upstroke - we can see the black axillary (i.e. armpit) feathers that easily
distinguish the species from American and Pacific Golden-Plovers.
Canon 600mm f/4 IS II on EOS 5D Mark IV
1/4000 at f/5.6, ISO 320
Processed in LR CC. Cloned out a tiny sliver of shadow that the front wing cast onto the upper back.
All C+C welcome!
