Day 13 - Lesser Flamingo ( Phoeniconaias minor ) for #AvianAugust2026 A species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and western India. Ref 📷: Luca Nichetti www.britannica.com/animal/flami... #Bird #WildlifeArt #ornithology #NatureArt #SciArt #BirdArt #BskyArt #AvianAugust

Digital sketch study of a Lesser Flamingo. Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, the only other Old World species of flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. Size is less helpful to distinguish the two species, unless they occur together, since the sexes of each species also differ in height
