Greater Sand Plover (?) - Greece, Milos island, August 2013 (1 Viewer)

It has long enough tibia to discard Kentish but the bill does not seem long enough. Greater, Lesser sand or even Caspian plover?

It was seen and photographed alone at the abandoned salt pans of Milos island (Aegean sea), Greece, the 29th of August 2013.

Welcome to the ID forum.
See that white band-surround at the neck, and those tiny "side-patches" on the breast?

I think Kentish may be the major suspect here?
