Observation details

Dark chestnut brown neck with glossy green/blue wings and long curved bill. IMHO, the clearest indicator for ID on this bird is the dark skin on the face between the eye and bill. There was no red/pink visible on the facial skin (as found on a White-faced Ibis). Legs are grey, no pink visible. Dark brown eye (not red). Bill is dark with warm pink tones near mid-beak. A great find today by Diana and Rick! Pics added.
