Proterothrix caudacuta
Quick answer
Notes. Most species of Proterothrix are associated with passerines, with a few species from kingfishers (Coraciiformes: Alcedinidae) and woodpeckers (Piciformes: Picidae) (Mironov & Galloway 2021). The occurrence of this species on a charadriiform bird is probably a mistake or contamination.
