After waiting a while with impatient kiddos, it flew back in calling at ~815pm & landed for good views (just N/NW of creek). The flight call matched that for Pacific (Sibley app) & not American.
Great find!!

Hey all,
Having seen additional photos shared on Facebook by Sean Pursley, I think the case for Pacific over American is strong. The photos show a remarkably short primary projection, a relatively long bill, and significant white in the flanks and sides of the undertail with a narrow strip of white running down the side of the neck. More photos/angles would be awesome, but based off of Sean's photos I think this bird is quite convincing for Pacific.

Has anyone evaluated the relationship of tail/tertials/primaries on this bird? I can't tell from the photos but it would be good to eliminate the possibility of a much rarer Pacific Golden Plover. If you're photographing it try to get some that depict the primary extension and projection. Either way it's a very cool bird.
