I see almost no difference in structure or plumage from these Kentish Plovers photographed in India. Leg color is a bit tricky to judge in photos but I think Kentish can look quite pinkish. I think identification of this species is yet not very well know and I'm not convinced they can be identified safely away from breeding grounds given current knowledge.

Also worth referring to the discussion about dealbatus
