Close-up of a juvie ringed plover sitting behind a rock on a beach. The picture is zoomed in, making the rock in front of them and the rocks behind out of focus, while the face and feathers are sharp.The beak is short, going from orange to dark brown. The stomach and chin/neck are white, and the head and bacj are speckled brown. There's half of a darker brown band around the neck, a slightly darker brown band underneath the eyes, and a white and beige stripe above.
Common ringed plover standing between brown kelp. The sunlight is coming from the top left of the corner, and the bird is standing in the center right. It's a zoomed in picture, so the plover takes up around a third of the height. The belly and a band around the neck are white, brown speckled back and top of head, and a dark brown band aroiund the neck.
