Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva)

To compare with the previous photo, here is the Pacific G.P. A bit lighter and "golder" overall. Has same white at forehead but not quite as thick, white runs down along sides, thickens at wing bend but continues along the flanks, does not abruptly stop as in the American G.P.
