This is a Pacific Golden Plover. Some yellower feathers are visible on the upperparts, ruling out Grey Plover. Also the structure (rather small, slim appearance) and obvious supercilium do not fit Grey Plover. Also, Grey Plover is very rare away from the intertidal areas and is unlikely at Long Valley.

If the two photos were posted together in the 1st round, then may Sze would not have made such a mistake. So please help us all by posting all that is necessary to make an accurate judgement.

參考 香港及華南鳥類 ,書中的金斑鴴, 胸前飾羽是黑色的. 請問為何這隻不是黑色的呢? Author: HKBWS Vicky Time: 2/06/2011 14:11
