The Theristicus melanopis is of colder wheather, Colombia is to hot for that species.

Looks like Buff necked Ibis and Black faced Ibis, But I suggest buff necked as this has a white patch in its wings with rest being same. Earlier both were considered under same species.

Ah, just missed you Atul :)
