wee bird

Can anyone help identify this wee bird? It was not at all shy, and stayed close while I wandered down the beach...

Pohowera, or Banded Dotterel. Native to NZ, and South pacific. Brreding season is just starting. They are very vulnerable to quad bikes, 4 wheel drives and dogs so are having a hard time surviving. Cute little fellows though.

Thank you!! They are so lovely - and yes I could imagine them being vulnerable to loud things along the beach - they don't seem to have much fear and stayed really close while we wandered up and down the beach.
