hi this is a bird spotted in Barbados first though to be a Semipalmated but after examining flight photo Common Ring Plover came up but the photo are not the best so the ID is not conclusive we're hoping to visit the location to get a positive ID but I would just like to know what you guys think. below are the photos

Short-bill, breast-band not strikingly large, and no obvious white supercilium behind eye? Some features I would expect in an adult male SPP. I see Ringed all the time in UK. It doesn't look like any I've seen. (But there is the tundrae subspp. I don't think that's an issue here either.)
I'd vote ad male SPP for this bird.
