Small Shorebird at Lake Victoria, Point Lonsdale, Vic needs I.D. please

By now you've guessed I'm pretty new to this game.

This bird was photographed  about two weeks ago at Lake Victoria, Point Lonsdale.  It was a good deal smaller than all other shorebirds in the vicinity at the time.  And very fast on its feet.

Perhaps a stint?  If so which type.

I know that you need help with the ID but I am sure that the Adminstrator would prefer you to the the Identifcations section for IDs.

yes, agree with young Red-capped Plover

Hi Frank - I moved it to identifications for you. I am rubbish at shorebirds but my first thought was a red-capped plover. Not 100% though...
