Description
The plumage is pinker than the slightly larger greater flamingo, but less so than Caribbean flamingo. It can be differentiated from these species by its greyish legs with pink joints (tibio-tarsal articulation), and also by the larger amount of black on the bill (more than half). Young chicks may have no sign of pink coloring whatsoever, but instead remain grey.

Excellent capture! I think i had seen yard statues of these birds for about 16 years before I actually saw a live one.
Awesome capture!!!
as a Floridian... we are used to seeing these beauties everywhere but this is a great shot of one.
Very nice close-up. Well done.
Beautiful bird in a wonderfully textured capture! Great light.
It is excellent!
