The Siberian sand plover (Anarhynchus mongolus) is a small wader in the plover family of birds. The International Ornithologists' Union split the Tibetan sand plover from the lesser sand plover and changed its vernacular name to Siberian sand plover.[2] The specific mongolus is Latin and refers to Mongolia, which at the time of naming referred to a larger area than the present country.[3]
