Not sure if I would call this Golden Plover "aberrant." To me it looked like a very typical first-summer (one-year-old) Golden Plover, a plumage we don't normally see around here until a bit later in the season (i.e. around the middle of June).

A number of expert birders have had very good scope views and all agree it is not a Mountain Plover.
