The Bare-faced Ibis is a medium-sized, dark-plumaged ibis found in the wetlands and grasslands of South America. It is characterized by extensive bare, dark facial skin and a long, decurved bill.
Where to spot
Widespread in South America, particularly east of the Andes, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Argentina. Inhabits open wetlands, marshes, flooded grasslands, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for its dark, dull plumage (often with a greenish sheen), and notably, its large area of bare, black facial skin. Its long, decurved bill and short tail are also key features. Often seen wading in shallow water, probing for invertebrates, or roosting in trees.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Breeding often coincides with the wet season.

Unlike many ibises, this species has a relatively short, stubby tail, which can be a useful identification feature in flight.
