They also have yellowish legs. Lessers (as here) have an all-dark bill, pink legs and very little visible black when the wings are closed - there's a clearer shot here: http://www.zoochat.com/513/lesser-flamingos-slimbridge-06-02-10-a-128300/ Flamingos are very easy to get mixed up but actually also quite easy to learn to tell apart (although having Slimbridge within reach is a big help! ). Click to expand... Thans for that. They all looked similar to me!
