An Ethiopian endemic, one of five endemic Ibises.
Found mainly at higher elevations, it is surprisingly common given that it has never spread
beyond Ethiopia. Often found with the previous species, the white areas on the wings are
diagnostic, the wattle beneath the throat being small and not always apparent.
