Interesting bird. If I saw one of those here I would think it was a cross between a plover and a stilt with an abnormally long beak.

I'm so glad you are such a talented photographer and can present to us such interesting birds! What an interesting color pattern on this one. Any idea why it has evolved in this way?

Nice shot. The bird definitely has some interesting colors.

Thanks all, this was a new bird for me. When I first saw them I thought it was some kind of juv lapwing.
