The White-faced Ibis, Plegadis falcinellus is a wading bird in the ibis family Threskiornithidae.


This species breeds in marshes in the southern USA and South America.

It is very similar to Glossy Ibis in its non-breeding plumages, but breeding adults have a pink face with a white border, a grey bill, and redder legs.
