In the continuing flock of 75-100 Black-bellied Plovers, I found an American Golden Plover, which stood out by its smaller size, darker color (with some gold flecks still in back), squarish dove-like head, white superciium, and comparatively small bill. Differentiated from other golden plovers by long primary projection.
