Karen

    The Chilean Flamingo shouldn't have an all dark bill, dark terminal 
half yes, but not completely dark. The bill of the Lesser Flamingo looks 
dark from a distance. The following link has some images taken from our 
Birds of Chile field guide, the top illustration is Chilean Flamingo, 
middle is Andean F, and lower is Puna (James) F.

A key point for Chilean Flamingo is to look for grey legs with red knees.
