Kentish Plover - not long we found a paler bird, but sadly the bill and legs seemed not a good match even in this angle it showed a 'long' neck

Kentish Plover
Kentish Plover - wing pattern
Kentish Plover - theoretically the wing pattern of White-faced is stronger, broader white wing bar but I am not sure whether this bird is strong or not
Kentish Plover - as see here this individual is much paler than the other, but the size is similar, or even smaller, not a good point for White-faced which should be larger

Kentish Plover - in flight again
Kentish Plover
Kentish Plover
Kentish Plover - thin breast band is good for White-faced but again the bill is not strong
