Details
With a large flock of 70 killdeer, foraging and resting, preening in a soybean stubble field. Studied in scope at 150 yards or so. Plover behavior and posture (run short distance, stop, peck). Plain colored compared to killdeer; slightly taller than nearby Killdeer. Light brownish back. Dove-like head, thin black bill, large dark eye. Strong white eye line, dark crown. White throat, whitish belly and vent, broad brown wash on breast. The smallish head, slender neck, and thin bill, and strong white eye line indicated American Golden rather than Black-bellied. Plumage of underparts more consistent with adult basic than juvenile, though latter is most likely at this late date.

Exotic species
Exotic species flags differentiate locally introduced species from native species.
Naturalized: Exotic population is self-sustaining, breeding in the wild, persisting for many years, and not maintained through ongoing releases (including vagrants from Naturalized populations). These count in official eBird totals and, where applicable, have been accepted by regional bird records committee(s).
Provisional: Either: 1) member of exotic population that is breeding in the wild, self-propagating, and has persisted for multiple years, but not yet Naturalized; 2) rarity of uncertain provenance, with natural vagrancy or captive provenance both considered plausible. When applicable, eBird generally defers to bird records committees for records formally considered to be of "uncertain provenance". Provisional species count in official eBird totals.
Escapee: Exotic species known or suspected to be escaped or released, including those that have bred but don't yet fulfill the criteria for Provisional. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals.
