White-faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi) monotypic Hvidmasket Ibis ~ Ibis Ojos Rojos ~ Maskibis 2007-10-18 Palizada road (cam), Mexico
Looking carefully you'll realize that both the black Ibises are present in this photo. The two in front are White-faced Ibises and the last three are Glossy Ibis. Apparently WI has a brighter and more slender bill than GI. And the back coloration of WI is more colorful and iridescent than the back of GI showing a back with a more drab and greenish look. This part of Mexico is normally known for GI, but during the later years WI has expanded its range toward east. |

The reddish colors of the tertials and the strong iridescent look are good points separating it from Glossy Ibis. |

Basic plumage. Not sure if it is a 2cy or adult bird. Not sure if an adult can be in basic plumage at the end of July. |
