The white-faced plover (Anarhynchus dealbatus) is a small shorebird predominantly found along the coastal shores of subtropical and tropical eastern Asia.[2] Initially described by British ornithologist Robert Swinhoe, the bird resembles the east Asian subspecies of the Kentish plover (Anarhynchus a. nihonensis) with which it has been much confused[3]
and sometimes considered to be a subspecies.[4]
