sorry i didn't say it before.
Notice the colours of the legs there you have the mayor differences between the 3 species that you can see in Atacama or in Chile.
I agree with Carolina, follow these links (birds from Chile)

Carolina,
I'll look for more photos of this flamingo and will post to ask questions.
I saw it in Atacama about 2 years ago.
Sorry, my english is not very good!
Tks
I think its a James flamingo because I can't see any yellow color in its legs, but if you remember seeing it with yellow legs, then is an Andean flamingo.
