I was at Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday and saw this guy/girl there. Can anyone help me ID this bird? There were some other people there, and they did not know what it was either. I might add that it was the only one of its kind there.

Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Nice one Phil, American Golden Plover, in breeding plumage.

Looks like it is a Black-bellied Plover to me.

I just looked that up, Mike, and I think you are right. Looks almost identical to this one:

Thanks for the input.
