That is the question.
I took this a few days ago when it was disturbed by another dog walker further along the path.
I posted it on another forum and someone suggested it may be a Little Ringed Plover.
I cannot see the eye ring but not the clearest photo, yet one member who is normally quite reliable
still thinks it is a Little Ringed Plover going by the bill and its overall look.
Would love to have any thoughts on what others think.

Ringed Plover

Ringed Plover 2

Enlarged to extreme.
