Plover I.D. Portugal (1 Viewer)

[Stranger]

The dark legs make me think this could be Kentish but I find Plovers difficult.
I.D and pointers gratefully received.

Kentish for me as well

Its a tricky angle but I think its safely a Kentish. If it was a Ringed Plover, even from this angle, I'd expect the dark upper breast patch to extend thinly along the mantle - your bird shows the light brown mantle contrasting with the white lower nape. The apparently long bill and dark legs add to it being a Kentish too.

Many thanks SJC and Simon
