Roseate Spoonbill
Platalea ajaja
Roseate Spoonbill adults of both sexes have predominantly pink plumage, with a white neck and upper back and deeper rose-red shoulder patches. Broad wings carry richly colored pink coverts above paler flight feathers, while the breast and lower body are largely unmarked pale pink. The adult head is covered in bare yellowish-green skin rather than feathers, contrasting distinctly with the white plumage of the neck.
