This is a smaller bird than the Red-kneed Dotterel, and this time the common name is more accurate as it does have a black front - and the RKD does not have red knees!
Anyway, this species also seemed rather more timid that its pond-mate and stayed further away.
As you can see the mud around the edge of the pond was very fluid, but must have been filled with goodies.
