<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="charadrius-collaris"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Charadrius collaris, the collared plover, is a small South American shorebird (Charadriidae) distributed from Mexico to Argentina, including coastal Peru. Weighing about 26 g, it forages for invertebrates on sandy beaches and riverbeds using the characteristic stop-run-peck foraging technique of plovers. Subfossil records from Peru document its presence in pre-Columbian Andean coastal environments. Its bold black breast-band gives the species its name.
