Mike Todd emailed after my post yesterday. He thinks the plover identified as
American-Golden is a second Black-bellied, based on "indistinct cap, fairly
short primaries, white bellies, very cold plumage tones". Leslie and I called
it a Golden based on finer head, neck and bill, plus the conspicuous smudge
behind the eye. The cap seemed darker in the flesh.
I wanted to stay for better photos and watch for the black axillaries in
flight, but we were already late for dinner with friends.
