trader81 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi there, Just going through some old pics and was wondering if anyone could confirm this bird to be a three banded plover. I think it looks like a match, but overall I find the color does not quite match (could just be the picture is over exposed). And the forehead is not white like all the pictures I am comparing it to online. I am wondering if this could be a female or juvenile? Picture was taking in Chobe National Park in June 2014. Thanks for any insights you can provide, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yes, this is a juvenile Three-banded Plover. Note the two dark breast bands, the red in its bill and eyering, and white eyebrow. The similar Forbes’s Plover is out of range. I’m afraid that I can’t tell you if it’s a male or a female, as sexes are very similar plumage-wise.
