wattled crane
The wattled crane (''Bugeranus carunculatus'') is a large bird found in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. It is monotypical for its genus, though some authorities place it with other crane species in the genus ''Grus'', as ''Grus carunculata''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IOC Lists (v3.2) )〕

The breast, primaries, secondaries, and tail coverts are black. The secondaries are long and nearly reach the ground. The upper breast and neck are white all the way to the face. The skin in front of the eye extending to the base of the beak and tip of the wattles is red and bare of feathers and covered by small round wart-like bumps. Wattled cranes have long bills and black legs and toes. Males and females are virtually indistinguishable, although males tend to be slightly larger.
Juveniles have tawny body plumage, lack the bare skin on the face, and have less prominent wattles.
