Dear Felix,
 
I think it is a juvenile Lesser Sand Plover. Short bill, 'large head, small body' are well shown in your picture. Greater Sand Plover has a longer bill and body.
 
Issac: Oriental Plover has more longer wings, slimmer body and longer and thinner bill.

Thanks, Tung.  
 
Issac, I thought it was Oriental Plover but its black legs tell me it should other plovers.
