Golden Plover species? (1 Viewer)

Himalaya

Well-known member
Taken on the Balochistan coastline this week in Pakistan. I would have opted for Pacific but the jizz appears more in line with European - In My Humble and Not Very Informed Opinion.


European is a rarity there - a major one.


Added some Phalaropes for good measure - taken just ff the coast at Karachi on the weekend. The grey back of the birds on the right make me think Grey Phalarope BUT the bill looks too thin?
