American Flamingo

The pinkest birds have the highest status in the colony as the bright colour shows that a particular individual is strong and good at finding food resources..this guy might be the top boss :)

He looks like he could be. Great capture.
We lost our only flamingo at the Adelaide Zoo last week. She passed away at a good age but still sad to see dear old Chili go.
