The legs of the White-faced Ibis protrude well beyond its tail in flight, thus differentiating it from the Bare-faced Ibis. Standing they look similar but the White-faced Ibis is more rufous generally with a green sheen on its wing panels.
The White Faced Ibis lives in areas from western USA to Argentina and is present in the southern states of Brazil.
