Barely White Ibis

Not being super-familiar with the birds of Florida, it took some research to figure out that this is a "white ibis" and not a "glossy ibis."

 

Apparently juvenile white ibises are not very white at all. The deciding factors for this ID were the pinkish bill and the streaky neck.
