Thanks for your reply~
Yes，i thought it is most likely White and yellow flag combination，you may check it on the attached pic，the flag on the uper leg looks like white，and the flag on the lower leg looks like yellow falg defiled by mud,i don't know whether there is a engraved flag.

Both the two flags with alphanumeric L8,on 22 JUNE 2012 By BAI Qingquan(bqqwhite@163.com), at Ash pond(39°51′34″N ，124°11′31″E),i will report to milton soon.
and another HK Grey plover L9 at the same site recorded in May for several times by Divid melville,Paul holt and Terry....i think they have reported the records to you...

Ajohn,i apreciate your comments on the two flagged Grey plovers,attached picture is L8.by the way,Have you ever band Great knots with white over yellow flags?

I think i saw a Great knot with plain white over yellow flags on 24th April，2012.at Site 5 of yalujiang NNR.
and i saw Grey plover ‘L8’ again on 21st July,2012 at 'Ash pond(39°51′34″N ，124°11′31″E)',the same site as it had been seen last time.

That' s very interesting news!
The last HK Grey plover i have seen this season is on Sep 29 with plain flags at site2(39°49′30″N，124°06′12″E) of YLJ.and another one with engraved flag that failed to id was also at site2 on Sep 14th.
Grey plover is one of the important species both in northern and southern migration in Yalujiang Estuary.the Max count 3700 was in early Sep during southern migration of 2012.and last weekend there are still hundreds of grey plovers remained even though the tidal flat will frozen soon.
