Greater Painted-Snipe (Rostratula benghalensis) Male

Badala park pool, Kotu

Like Phalarope & Dotterel the role of the sexes is reversed in that the female is the more colourful of the pair, whilst the male broods the eggs & rears the young by himself.
My wife approved of this bird!

Canon EOS 1D Mark II
