We made a stop on Orrick Rd today on our way home from visiting family in NW Arkansas. We saw a dark ibis along one of the ponds. Thinking it was a recently reported White-faced Ibis, we initially reported it as such. In fact, the bright sunlight reflected red in the eye at certain angles, but it didn't always appear red. Michael took numerous photos which show the iris to be brown and, more importantly, the facial skin in front of the eye appears to be gray and the lines above/below the eye appear to be pale and thin. Knowing that the iris of a juvenile White-faced doesn't turn red until late Jan or Feb, what do others think and why? This may likely need to remain unknown and submitted as Glossy/White-faced.See photos of this individual attached to this eBird report. https://ebird.org/checklist/S293715673Patty McLean and Michael Linz The Roadrunners
