Thanks to NicoleB and SatyenMehta
Good to know that you are good at research. Keep looking, you never know what you might find in Kuwait.
I love looking things up :-)
And it distracts me from the frustration about not finding much about Kuwait marine Life or plants ;-)
The only thing off with the above bird is the colour of the beak, which might be due to some sun/light distortion.
All else fits the bill (pun intended) ;-)
but your suggestion seems to be right Nicole. You are learning a great deal about Indian birds.
this one looks too big to be immature
What an impressive creature!
Immature Painted Stork is correct though, I think :)

Surely not a painted stork
