Observation details
Photos and video. Excellent side-by-side comparison with Glossy Ibis. Slightly but noticeably larger than Glossy Ibis. Bright red eye. Brighter pinkish-purple facial skin compared to Glossy. Slightly paler above with strong bronze-olive tones particularly noticeable on wing coverts. Glossy Ibis darker overal, particularly noticeable on wings. Underside of bill base quite bright pink (brightest part of skin) and noticeably different from Glossy. No apparent suggestion of hybridization with either bird, though completely ruling out any introgression is perhaps impossible at this season.
