2014-03-04 Laguna Cuyutlán (col), Mexico Dark, compact body and long wings in low flight above the ground; Typical for this species. Marked wing band is a character most Charadrius plovers show, but the dark base color is a good indication of this species. Bright outer tail with dark central feathers and blackish toward the tip is shown by most of these plovers and probably is not a useful identification character. |
