Thanks for the lesson.

For one thing – it looks like a full grown bird rather than a fledgling.  The proportions are of a full-grown bird and not an awkward little puffball, and I don’t see any downy feathers remaining, though I do see some pale mottling on the wing (typical of juvenile Semipalmated).  I’d expect a fledgling Killdeer to have overall more-contrasting plumage including warmer brown coloration above contrasting with a bold blackish breast band (this bird is pale sandy brown overall, and the breast band color mostly matches the mantle), a more extensively white forehead with a black lining, black in the auriculars, black in the wings and tail, and a pale crescent under the eye.  I’m also seeing what looks like a two-toned bill (slightly yellow at the base) unlike the all-black bill of Killdeer at all ages.  I suspect that August 29 would be pretty late for Killdeer to still be sporting their single-banded plumage.

Lesson.learned if I think i.got interesting.bird Post pic.no.try.I D sorry about that

What do you see that tells you its a SEPL?  I’ve seen young killdeer beyond the downy stage with one breast band and the bill seems long to me. 

This looks like a typical first-fall Semipalmated Plover, to me, though the photo is a bit washed out.

You are righ my. Sibley app. S how’s downy young one band thanks.glad I decided to look.young killdeer 

Looking at Sibley app my phone killdeer has a downy young with one band need to look at other.identifers

Think its a young killdeer. They have only one breast band. Bill looks too long and birds seems too big for semipalmated plover.
