Bare-faced ibis (Phimosus infuscatus), Pantanal, Brazil
Breeds Venezuela to Argentina. Can be quite difficult to pick out in the inky-black waters of the swamps, especially when the daylight is fading, as here. Forages in moist soil and, as here, in shallow water, rarely venturing into deeper water. Diet includes insects, worms, mollusks, small amphibians, crustaceans, occasionally small fish and plant material.
