      This is the James flamingo in with the Andean flamingo

      Looks more like an Andean than a James' (Puna) Flamingo.
      If it was a James' shouldn't it have more yellow on the beak, less black on the tail, and more red around the eye? This bird doesn't appear to have those, so would be an Andean as titled.

      I am going by the red edging to the beak as Andean don't appear to have this and James do but If I am incorrect will be happy to be corrected.

      it is an Andean flamingo. The flamingo species are very easily told apart by the pattern of black on the bill.
