	MSN Encarta - Plover
		Plovers are distinguished from their similar shorebird relatives the sandpipers by their relatively short bills, which are enlarged and hardened at the tip.
		The killdeer is classified as Charadrius vociferus, the piping plover as Charadrius melodus, the semipalmated plover as Charadrius semipalmatus, the common ringed plover as Charadrius hiaticula, and the snowy plover as Charadrius alexandrinus.
		The fl-bellied plover is classified as Pluvialis squatarola, the American golden plover as Pluvialis dominica, the Pacific golden plover as Pluvialis fulva, and the Eurasian golden plover as Pluvialis apricaria.

	Plover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plovers are a widely distributed group of wading birds belonging to the subfamily Charadriinae.
		Plovers are found throughout the world, and are characterised by relatively short bills.
		Food is insects, worms or other invetebrates, depending on habitat, which are obtained by a run-and-pause technique, rather than the steady probing of some other wader groups.

	Eurasian Golden Plover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eurasian Golden Plover, Pluvialis apricaria, is a largish plover.
		In winter, the fl is lost and the plover then has a yellowish face and breast and white underparts.
		American Golden Plover, Pluvialis dominiica, and Pacific Golden Plover, Pluvialis fulva, are both smaller, slimmer and relatively longer-legged than Eurasian Golden Plover, and both have grey rather than white axillary (armpit) feathers.

	American Golden Plover - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		American Golden Plover is smaller, slimmer and relatively longer-legged than Eurasian Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) which also has white axillary (armpit) feathers.
		The breeding habitat of American Golden Plover is arctic tundra from northern Canada and Alaska to Siberia.
		A comparison of dates and migratory patterns leads to the conclusion that Eskimo Curlews and American Golden Plovers were the most likely shore birds to have attracted the attention of Christopher Columbus to nearby land after 65 days at sea out of sight of land on his first voyage.

		The Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva), known as the Kolea in Hawaiian, is the most common of Hawai'i's migrant shorebirds, with birds wintering in large numbers in almost all types of available habitat, from coastal pastures and wetlands, to parks and gardens, to the high altitude slopes of Haleakala Crater.
		Interestingly no American Golden Plovers had ever been recorded in Hawai'i up to and including April 2002, despite the fact that the species is a long-distance migrant and has been recorded frequently as a vagrant considerable distances from either its winter or summer ranges (eg.
		Pacific Golden Plovers breed in Siberian tundra from Yamal Peninsula eastwards and western Alaska.

	BirdForum - Golden Plover (?)
		It was present amongst a flock of 350 Golden Plovers on the East Lagoon at Oare Marshes on the 1st of September from 1-3pm at least.
		Having made a point of looking at the Golden Plovers and marvelling at their variability I was unprepared for this bird to put it's head up amongst the other birds such that only it's head and neck were visible.
		I did go to Oare on the 2nd of September and scrutinsed 500+ Golden Plovers one by one but all had typical fl bills and this bird was unfortunately not present.

	Pacific Golden Plover Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A bird I believe to have been a Pacific Golden Plover was observed in Delaware on September 28, October 5, and October 6, 2003 in a harvested potato field along Delaware highway 9 between Whitehall Neck Road and the bridge into the town of Leipsic.
		The apparent Pacific Golden Plover and most or all of the American Golden Plovers it accompanied were in juvenile or adult basic plumage, with no hint of fl below.
		Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish the individual primaries on the American Golden, and the different angle of its wing makes a direct measurement of the length of the projection potentially misleading.

		The underwing was whitish thereby confirming Eurasian Golden Plover.
		The Dunlin, also pictured, was happy to feed close to the Golden Plover but when it approached a Lapwing too closely it was pecked, ruffling it's feathers.
		This mixed flock of about 300 Golden Plover and a similar number of Lapwing (plus Starlings, Stock Doves, Crows, Magpies and a mixed bag of Gulls), were in a field at TQ025795.

	Auk, The: Tundra Plovers: The Eurasian, Pacific and American Golden Plovers and Grey Plover
		Tundra Plovers is authoritatively documented and beautifully illustrated, a combination that recommends it to both the professional ornithologist and the amateur bird enthusiast.
		The main text is organized into 14 chapters covering the major topics of taxonomy, plumages, phylogeny, biogeography, breeding distribution and population trends, breeding schedules and social behavior, sex roles and parental behavior, migration, nonbreeding distribution, behavior and ecology, diet, and conservation.
		Because Tundra Plovers emphasizes the resuits of that original work, it sometimes fails to convey the full range of what is known about these species from other regions.

	Abberton Reservoir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abberton Reservoir is important as an autumn arrival area for waterbirds that then spend the winter elsewhere.
		It is designated a Special Protection Area as a result of its over-wintering populations of Golden Plover, Gadwall, Shoveler Ducks and Teal and for its breeding population of cormorants.
		In addition there are significant numbers of Black-tailed Godwit, Lapwing, Coot, Goldeneye, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Pintail, Wigeon and Great Crested Grebe.

		The Eurasian Dotterel (Charadrius morinellus), or in Europe just Dotterel, is a small wader in the plover family of birds.
		Migration stopovers are traditional, and small parties (trips) of Dotterels pass through each year at these usually inland arable or grassy sites.
		This plover is smaller and more compact than Eurasian Golden Plover.

	BirdForum - 'Odd' Golden Plover i.d. help please.
		Generally paler than EGP but still with a golden cast to the mantle and scapulars — sort of part way between Grey Plover and EGP in overall appearance.
		Not sure if it helps at all but a few years ago there was a leucistic EGP at St Mary's (Northumbs) for 4 or 5 consecutive winters, which came close to this description, except for the perhaps longer primaries of your bird (tho' EGP 1aries do extend slightly beyond).
		The 'golden' colour is not what I'm used to in juv AGP but I don't think I've ever seen one this late, so maybe moult is a stage further and this is accounting for it.

		The UK was blessed with an exceptional influx of American Golden Plovers during the autumn of 2003 with up to 25 reported.
		This latter bird was then seen occasionally at Crossen's Marsh and Marshside, coinciding with high tides which pushed the Golden Plover flock further inland, until the end of the year.
		The underparts of American Golden are extensively barred grey up to the upper breast and often this gives a 'necklace' appearance around the bird's throat.
