Taken in Brazoria Wildlife Refuge on March 21, 2018. Not a good sharp shot and a heavy crop, but I hope there is enough detail for someone to ID this bird.

Thanks Sandy. I guess I didn't expect to see a Golden Plover in this plumage this time of year.

I believe they start getting their breeding plumage around April, so you're right on the cusp.
Maybe this one didn't read the calender!
