The river plover is a tiny, gray-colored bird about the size of a sparrow. When a human approaches, he first turns his dark side to him and presses himself to the ground, becoming totally invisible on a rocky shoal, before running back and only then rising to the wing. Its general body configuration (more "runaway"), a lower fit on the thighs, the absence of a reddish tone on the belly, and a solid black spot on the goitre distinguish it from the plover, which can be found nearby in the south. Its key distinction from the large tie is its slightly smaller scale (the trait is not caught on young birds). Its beak lacks an orange-yellow base, which can be seen through binoculars.
