| Bare-faced Ibis Phimosus infuscatus (aka Whispering Ibis) |
||||
 |
Brazil The Bare-faced Ibis is distributed throughout most of South America east of the Andes except for central Amazonia. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. It is found in marshes, wet meadows, rice fields, savannahs and similar open habitats. |
|||
 |
It has bare red skin on the face and a long, decurved, pink to yellow bill. In flight its pink legs barely extend
beyond its tail, a feature which distinguishes it from flying White-faced Ibis Plegadis chihi whose longer legs extend noticeably beyond the
tail.
It uses its long bill to probe the ground for worms, etc. |
