Cobirders,

I have a candidate Pacific Golden Plover at Cheraw Lake in Otero. First seen from the far west shore, trying to refind now.

The bird does have relatively long primaries than expected for Pacific Golden-Plover, and it’s tertials are shorter than expected for Pacific Golden.

It looks like it is likely an American due to what I mentioned earlier, and its small bill and drab upperparts. 

Sorry for the false alarm.
