    I have been told that head pattern is insufficient for telling Pluvialis 
    plovers apart, so all the plovers at Emery Point yesterday were probably 
    Black-bellied because that is the common species. The light was bad, making 
    it difficult to judge the amount of "golden" on the plovers, and none of 
    them ever flew to show their distinctive wingpits.
