Mystery bird 2 - Solved
I was going through some old pictures when I came across these birds. The money is on them being plovers..
There are no white collar so it should remove the Malaysian Plover and the Kentish Plover. Its coat is not checkered so that that should remove the Pacific Golden Plover. That leaves the Greater Sand Plover and the Lesser Sand Plover. As the legs are not yellow, it should be the Lesser Sand Plover with breeding plumage. Yup, Lesser Sand Plovers's plumage is white when it is not in mating season.
