Andean Flamenco

Hello stemianos, I present you a beautiful Andean flamingo, in captivity in a park in Merida Venezuela, this bird has long legs and yellow color, while the other species have pink. The rest of his body is typical of flamingos, except for slight variations in plumage color. The neck is long and curved, and has 3 fingers that point forward on each leg, sometimes can grow to 140 centimeters and the weight is 1.5 to 4.1 kilograms. The plumage is pale pink, brighter in the upper part of the body, the bill is yellow and black.
