I photographed a similar light bird in a flock of about 20 plovers A couple
of years ago in early fall. I also found it puzzling but in the end
decided it was just a variant of a standard semi palmated. Interesting
though to have one in both spring and fall.

Plover as a similar image appears on birdsna.org which is run by Cornell.

Alaska and perhaps (anyone?) there may be sub species variety. The image
also displays "breeding" and that perhaps there may be a sex difference
with the partially darkened cap.
