Your photo looks fine, BTW. Light's less harsh than when I took mine (in the midst of this record-setting high temp and high-intensity sun weather we've had).
And mine was on the east end of the second canal on the right (north). Scott Carpenter apparently photographed it for some time before I showed up mid-morning.
black-bellieds are easy enough to find in singles and in isolation. The brits call them grey plover because apparently they don't (or almost never) see them in breeding plumage. We catch some of them in breeding plumage.
But on all of ocean shores, where I was playing with many flocks of multiple thousands of shorebirds, I only saw one black-bellied, and it was by itself.
Bottle beach had maybe a half-dozen - a place where 100,00 shorebirds aren't unknown.
