Thanks for the photos, John.
Relatively thick bill suggests Black-bellied Plover.

I enjoy the multiple posts and general alarm!
Luke Pheneger and I were texting a couple weeks ago that this would be the time to carefully look at each and every Black-bellied Plover as an American Golden-Plover could be migrating through. I'm thinking your bird may be a Black-bellied based on that bulldog-like crouching posture. See how it looks like it doesn't have a neck? Golden-Plovers are more upright with a beanier looking head, more along the lines of a Mountain Plover. But I could be wrong as I'm looking at this on my phone.
It's a great reminder to enjoy looking at each and every bird. I hadn't even considered a Pacific! With the hurricanes lately, anything could turn up. Poor birdies.
