Black-bellied Plover

Pluvialis squatarola

Habitat:

breed in the northernmost reaches of North America and Eurasia, in dry heath tundra as well as wet tundra. They nest in lowlands, never in high mountainous areas, but they do use ridges and foothills; wintering birds use tidal creeks, estuaries, lagoons, and shorelines, where they feed on mudflats and beaches

Notes:

A single individual among other common shorebirds (Willets, Sanderlings, and Ruddy Turnstones). This is the non-breeding adult plumage.
