hello all, sorry for the low quality images but i wanted to get some insight on whether this seems to be a Black-Bellied Plover or an American Golden Plover
spotted on the inner side of Plymouth Long Beach, Massachusetts, USA

i've seen Black-Bellieds before but not a Golden, this one kind of looked a little slimmer and larger/taller than a Black-Bellied but i'm not sure
any input is appreciated : )

Very difficult to say (at least for me). On the basis that I'm not seeing any golden tones, then grey/black-bellied. I think American golden would be slighter, more elongated than this
