[Plovers] Common-ringed Plover

Other than size, the only thing that this bird does not fit Little Ringed Plover is the eyering.  Even in winter plumage, Little Ringed Plover has a clear eyering, especially at the part near the ear.  

Little Ringed Plover can have orange leg, and part of the bill orange.  The head partern of full breeding bird is also quite similar.  That is something to note.  So I have learned something.  Thank you.
