South East Florida, USA, August (Which Plover?)

I always have problems with immature birds ID.
This were taken August, 21, 2010. Bunche Beach, Florida... I have an awesome morning, if you can brave 1000's of gnats eating you alive, still awesome morning.

I was 90% sure of Wilson's Plover ... but could be semipalmated plover (4%)...or snowy plover (.5%)... something else...

Of course the % have no scientific basis, are only my opinion.
Thanks in advance for the help, Raul
