We watched this bird from very close in comparison with 2 little ringed plovers, yesterday afternoon in Southern Germany (Wagbachniederung near Waghäusel).
The light are above the eye looked thin and light brown most of the time; but when the bird was preening-resting it looked like a very thin white stripe.
I guess it´s just a tundrae- common ringed plover; but I don´t remember seing one where the white above the eye was not visible during most of the observation time. It did not call during observation.
What do you think?
