LITTLE RINGED PLOVER. 



19 



Plover, but differs from it in the following important particulars : — the 

 white on the primaries is confined to the shaft of the first primary ; the 

 yellow on the bill is confined to the base of the lower mandible, and the 

 legs and feet are dull yellow instead of orange-yellow ; orbits yellow, irides 

 dark hazel. The changes of plumage dependent upon age, sex, and season 

 resemble those of the Ringed Plover. Young in down somewhat resemble 

 those of the Ringed Plover, but the ground-colour of the upper parts is 

 more buff and the dark markings not so pronounced.
