Posing for me, just for me, on a tree about 100 yards from our campsite was a Black-bellied Whistling-duck. More importantly, he posed while I got my camera out and changed to my long lens. I got off six shots and then he flew. This bird is characterized by the red bill, white eye ring and pink legs. The upper body is a rust color, the lower is solid black, (hence the name.) This is a new bird for me, number 410. Next up, maybe a Fulvous Whistling Duck? No could not be that lucky but they do live in the same environment. Maybe?
