White-faced Ibis (maybe) (Plegadis chihi)

This ibis has some white on it's face, some red on it's legs, and maybe a red eye, so I'm calling it a white-faced Ibis, although I've seen pictures labeled Glossy Ibis that seem to share these traits. If you know for sure which it is, let me know.

Nice shot. Yes it appears to me to be a white-faced. Although the Glossy looks very much like this also, I think the white on the face on the glossy is not as prominent. A beauty anyway.
