The name "spur wing plover" has been used for three different birds. To avoid confusion the three have had their names standardized as follows:

River Lapwing (Vanellus duvaucelli) from Asia

Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles) from Australia

Spur Winged Lapwing (Vanellus spinosus) from Africa

Are spurwing plovers native Australia birds?

Globally, the species that is most commonly called a spurwing plover is vanellus spinosus, which is an African species. However, quite a few vanellus species have carpal spurs (on the bend of the wing), so get called spurwinged plover locally. In Australia, the local plover is vanellus miles, which is known as spurwinged there - globally it is usually known as the masked or Asian wattled plover.
