Phoenicopterus roseus
Most of the plumage is pinkish-white, but the wing coverts are red and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black. The bill is pink with a restricted black tip, and the legs are entirely pink. The call is a goose-like honking.
Photographed at Lagos Zoo.

Thanks for commenting, Ashish.
Look like they are in Non-Breeding (less Red) plumage form.
