A real American Golden Plover (Pluvialis dominica)

Unlike the post the other day that I mis-identified and later corrected (labelled as Am. Golden Plover but actually a Black-bellied), this is really a juv. American. Note the different build, smaller bill, llonger wings, and gray breast with dull indistinct speckles, as against pale with streaks.
