I read this morning in Birds Britannica that Dunlin and known for shadowing Golden Plover, following their every move. It even mentions a Golden Plover flying onto a fence post and a Dunlin flying up and perching right beside it. According to the text, they shadow Golden Plover the most, but they're also known to shadow Greenshank and Dotterel. The book refers to them as "plover's page".
