It is said to frequent the sandy banks of rivers, where it feeds upon insects andsmall fish. Although it has lost its hind toe it is probably nearest allied to L. senegalensis andL. lateralis, with both of which it agrees in having a white forehead and crown. Verylittle importance can, however, be attached to a character which is not found in the youngas well as in the adult; and the Black-shouldered Wattled Lapwing must be regarded as ahighly differentiated species, whose affinities it is very difficult to determine.
