I think this one is Kentish? However it has more brown around the breast than many I have seen, and those yellow legs bother me as I thought Kentish plovers had dark legs... so I'm not certain? Thanks

Not recent photo, right? Slightly worn juvenile plumage, pic ought to be taken in autumn. Common Ringed for sure.

Cyprus has a lot of migration in both Spring & Autumn, so being clear about when & where a photo is taken is important as it can clear up a lot of uncertainty!

Yes sorry about that - it was taken very early in october last year. I just got round to looking at it again and thought I made a mistake..... so thanks for your assistance.
