Original – Malaysian Plover (Charadrius peronii), Laem Pak Bia, Petchaburi, Thailand
Reason
High quality photo of a small bird found in an environment with no natural cover. Significantly more numerous than the White-faced below. Shows all plumage and is useful for identification. Compliments the photo of the female in the article well.
Support Though I wish the image was a little larger and more detailed. Also, the tags are a slight minus, at least for use in articles that don't discuss tagging. Adam Cuerden(

Support. I added some information to the article about a large-scale color-banding study. It appears there have been several, and indeed this individual looks to be wearing different kinds of bands, as if from different studies, but it's quite plausible that one of its bands stems from the study I cited (or another of the studies listed under References in the article). It appears this species is being extensively studied because of concerns about tourism impact on its habitat, and in that sense the color-bands add to EV.
