Seems to me to have different coloration to the other three dotterels around the corner

Pair hanging out on the beach. No sign of eggs or chicks. Looks like they might have given up on this breeding season now.

Part of a large post-breeding flock (60-70 birds) that roosts on the Pauanui Waterways subdivision at HW

There were a lot of NZ dotterel at Rahotu this evening. I've put down 14 in total, but it was difficult to keep count and so could have been anywhere between 12 and 18 birds. Fledged chick doing well. The three younger chicks look like they have another week to go before being able to fly. Chicks able to cross the stream.

Pair still behaving like they might have eggs/chicks. I've not seen them though.

Six adults, two fledged chicks and two approx 4 week old chicks. Fledged chicks feeding by waters edge and along the sandspit. Looking very grown up. Kept a good distance from the two 4 week old chicks, hence out of focus last photo.

The chicks have finally hatched! Two chicks and three adults. There were a lot of people on the beach including one family with a dog (NB Sandy Bay is a no dog reserve).

I'm guessing by the location and coloration this is a native bird's handiwork, which makes Pipit or banded dotterel two good candidates, given the location in this ephemeral dune wetland. Others are possible.
The area is unfortunately prone to morons on motor vehicles...
