Chilean flamingo 21 May 2025

@catfan I understand that and it makes sense. But this is not a pure Chilean Flamingo and looks much more like a Caribbean (American) Flamingo. Chilean Flamingos are much paler than this bird and they have a marked contrast between the wing coverts (which are pale pink) and the flight feathers which are a deep pink. This bird lacks that contrast. This could be a hybrid between the two species based on the leg coloration, but the head, neck, body, and wings are much more Caribbean Flamingo-like.
