Golden Plover at 10th Street IB

As of noon 2/13, there’s a golden plover in with a large flock of Black-bellied Plovers visible way out in the middle of the saltworks pond containing stint island. The one at the end of 10th street. My assumption is that it’s a Pacific based on location, but of course it’s hard to tell fine details at this distance and with strong heat haze. The bird is obviously golden-brown and a little smaller than the other plovers.
