These birds are fairly common throughout much of South America. I photographed this one way down toward the southern tip of the continent in Puerto Natales, Chile. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5 at 1/1000th of a second.
What a curious looking bird! I’m with Louis on this one: brown back, wonky black chest & neck, pink beak, and maybe pink legs(?). But I love the red eye. (And the ground level pic!)
