Anhinga anhinga
Typical pose of an anhinga, seen sunning itself on a stump in a freshwater swamp.
A bird of southern swamps, the Anhinga is known as the Water-Turkey for its swimming habits and broad tail, and also as the Snake-Bird for its habit of swimming with just its long head and neck sticking out of the water.

We have a similar looking one in our campus - An Indian Darter and we too call it a Snake Bird!
