    Default Golden Plover

    I was shooting bb plovers this morning. This one looks a bit different - 2 views of the same bird. Local birders have mentioned seeing golden plovers. Is this one, or just a bb with different plumage? Thanks.

    What is the location Allan?

    Golden Plovers have a dainty look to the head and a small bill compared to BBPLs. Your bird shows this dainty look so I would say you have an American Golden Plover. I would say this is a juvenile bird. You can see the long wings on this bird and the dark top of head which are also field marks.
