Not a sandplover sadly (your first photo-edit emphasized orange/red tones too much! - my attempt below), fairly certain now it is just another Pacific Golden Plover in a slightly odd state of moult. Hmmm . . . oddly, Hawaii is blank in this list of US State recorders http://home.rconnect.com/~phertzel/brc/brc.htm Did find this though: http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/birds/rlp-monograph/Introduction... Email Peter Pyle - address near the end of the page in the 'Literature Cited' paragraph - with the Stilt details, and if you want to, also the plover photo with details of when and where it was taken, and ask him for confirmation of Pacific Golden Plover (or not!).
