  1. I was wondering if this is a Scarlet Ibis, like the one below:

The Scarlet Ibis is a species of ibis in the bird family ''Threskiornithidae''. It inhabits tropical South America and islands of the Caribbean. In form it resembles most of the other twenty-seven extant species of ibis, but its remarkably brilliant scarlet coloration makes it unmistakable.
