In the picture the Greater Flamingo is looks a large, very slender, pale pink or white bird with a long neck. The wing coverts are bright salmon pink but are often hidden beneath the feathers on the back when the bird is feeding. In flight however, they are clearly visible and contrast with the black flight feathers of the wings. http://www.wildlifeworld360.com/greater-flamingo.html
