 Juveniles have similar markings to adult females, but always lack the crown band altogether, and there is no black colouration on the head- lores are brown.The lateral breast patch is very variable between individuals of this species.The voice of a white-fronted plover is often a gentle piping ‘wit’, ‘woo-et’, ‘twirit’, and ‘tirit-tirit’, as well as ‘pi-peep’.
