Straw-necked ibis
This splendid ibis with his iridescent feathers on the back and wings hasn't been injured on his left wing... I've been thinking the wing was broken when I saw the first bird like that, but when I saw any other ibises behaving like that, I've been first relieved and second a bit surprised about such a resting position. I couldn't find reliable infos about this behavior. If someone has, I take it with so much pleasure ...
I love how the beak displays iridescent colors too.
