Northeast of the photo’s center point.

If I understood @swampster’s explanation of terminology, it is neither a chick, a juvenile, nor any other type of immature bird but rather an adult Ringed Plover.
(Unless I am wildly misunderstanding iNaturalist’s About page for that taxon, which is always a distinct possibility.)

Yep! It is an adult. Maybe I should have clarified.

Just puts to show how good their camo really is, even if out of context, it looks easy to pick out. ;)

I give up. Where is it?
We need to find a way to hide the solution behind a link. Help @tiwane or @carrieseltzer ?

Thank you. I could not find it. Your directions and DianaStuder’s comment bout the bright beak finally helped me find it!

It is quite a challenge to find which is why I want to put a pictorial, circled version behind a link like @oksanaetal’s because once you see it, it seems quite apparent but goodness, the distance/perspective makes this one a doozy. I feel badly for people not able to find it but I also don’t want to post a circled version openly? (But maybe we ought to.)

Arrggh! I still can’t see it.
Reminds me of those “magic eye” pictures that were supposed to make sense if you looked at them in just the right way. I never could figure those out, either…
Those Magic Eye ones take a little practice. If you try to find something by staring at the actual plane of the image, you’ll probably end up seeing what I did: an INVERTED 3D image. The secret is to really relax your gaze and focus on a point about twice as far away.

Boy, you have a much bigger smartphone than I do!
I’m looking at a computer screen. I wouldn’t touch a smartphone with a barge pole.
