Too soon for species?
I changed the classification to species. Birdlife International and the IUCN have recognised this change for a few years, following HBW. Both are cited in the article. The IOC (not cited) have finally acknowledged the change so this is no longer controversial. The reason I changed it now rather than waiting a few weeks for IOC 10.2 was because of how the lede was written. If it is a subspecies of the Kentish plover then the statement that it is often confused with one makes no sense. Yet this history of confusion is an important point so belongs there. As a species it all makes more sense. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 08:37, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
