Inia geoffrensis humboldtiana Pink River Dolphin or Boto Pink river dolphin in the Orinoco Delta. I did get a little better at spotting them, very difficult to take as large area of water, additionally they tended to be more active with flat water, making focusing tricky. More to follow.

    Note: have identified it as Inia geoffrensis, as Inia geoffrensis humboldtiana is disputed as a subspecies. Still good to have that name in the title and tags so that people can find it. Posted 5 years ago
