April 13, 2006: I saw the bird again today, but not for very long, and got no more photos; I've added more photos from yesterday at the bottom of these original two images.
This Pacific Golden-Plover Pluvialis fulva molting into Alternate plumage was among 1000+ American Golden Plovers and thousands of other shorebirds in some rice fields at the corner of H59 and FM530, NE of Edna, Jackson County, Texas on April 12, 2006:

Also note the white undertail, mostly white flanks, longish, olive-tinged legs with long exposed tibia.
More photos from April 12 are added below:
