Is it White-headed Stilt??

The taxonomy for Black-winged Stilt H. himantopus is fairly complicated, some suggest up to 4-5 seperate species in H. himantopus but most treat them all as sub-species. The White-headed Stilt Himantopus himantopus leucocephalus I think is still widely accepted as a sub-species? I sometimes see this form of Black-winged Stilt too.
