I have to agree with Terje, it looks like a Black Oystercatcher. They specialize in life on the rocks, sometimes referred to as a Rock Piper.

Black oystercatchers would be the English name. Nice shot.

Buena captura, Silvia. Indagando por la red, parece que son un par de "Ostreros negros", habituales en la Reserva Natural Ría Deseado. -V-

Nice shot! Hmm... they resemble a species we have in Norway in the summer season. We call them "Tjeld". "Oystercatcher" in english! But ours have white colouring below.
