An apparently albino Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) was observed along the banks of the Godavari River near Belur (Bk), Taluka Dharmabad, District Nanded, Maharashtra. The bird displayed a complete loss of melanin, including pinkish eyes, a pale bill, and entirely white plumage. This is a report from the Godavari basin in Maharashtra, contributing to the limited documentation of albinism in waders.
