The Lesser Sandhill Crane has a red forehead, white cheeks and a long dark pointed bill. Its long dark legs trail behind in flight, and the long neck is kept straight in flight. Immature birds have reddish brown upperparts and gray underparts (Wiki).
Thank you so much for proposing my heron image for the gallery, dear Vitoria Castelo Santos .... and many thanks to everybody who supported me in the voting.
