This photo is a Little Ringed Plover chick. You'll see that it has quite an obvious line across the top of the head and through the eye; I don't think that a Kentish Plover chick has such marked lines in this way. Further, it is likely that leg colour differs. On KP chick, they are yellowish, while on LRP, they are greyish.

Further, KP has never bred in HK as far as we know, and there are annual reports of LRP breeding. Consequently, it is more likely to be LRP.

Further photos of the chicks of these two species can be found at:

LRP: http://www2.kongju.ac.kr/srcho/pintail/2002/jul/070701.htm

KP: http://www2.kongju.ac.kr/srcho/pintail/2001/aug/0805.htm

As I work on the birds at the airport, I would be very interested to know the exact location of this bird. Would it be possible for you to reply to me privately, and let me know? My email address is gjcarey@netvigator.com

Many thanks,

Geoff Carey
