Glossy Iridescence

At a distance the Glossy Ibis will seem somewhat dark in appearance, but catch it closeup with a full overhead sunlight, and the iridescence produces wonderful green and rust highlights. Its dark brown eye (among other features) distinguishes the Glossy from the White-faced Ibis that is seen in the Western States.
