Appearance:

Unmistakable, except in areas where other Flamingo species occur. Differs from Lesser Flamingo by greater size, paler and less red plumage, pink (not deep red) bill, and more contrasting coverts. From Chilean Flamingo by less black on bill, and pink legs without contrasting joints. Immature birds first brown with white belly. Later dirty white with coverts tipped black.

Sound:

Nasal, di-syllabic, gooselike honking. Sometimes pure and high-pitched, other times deep and with peculiar, raspy, frog-like quality.

Appearance:

Pink bill and legs distinguishes it from Bean Goose. This can however be a deceiving character in poor light. Also differs from Bean Goose by pale grey,not brownish, upperparts. The darkest part of the body is the flanks (Bean Goose have equally dark flanks and back).

Sound:

Similar to Bean Goose and White-fronted Goose, but more nasal and a little higher pitched than the first, and less musical and laughing than the second. Easily told from Greylag Goose by frequent nasal, high pitched "wink-wink".
