RUFOUS-CHESTED DOTTEREL Charadrius modestus

Found in southern South America and the Falklands, this attractive plover is nowhere numerous but not difficult to see, for some reason a decent photo has always eluded me, the adult was taken through a bus window in Chilean Tierra del Fuego, and the immature from some distance.
