Bronze-winged Jacana

The bronze-winged jacana is a large, short-tailed, rail-like bird about 29 cm long that looks dark at a distance apart from a broad white eyebrow running from over the eye to the back of the neck. The wings are bronzy brown with a green sheen, and the head, neck and breast are black. It is the only species in its genus. Like other jacanas it forages on lilies and other floating vegetation, using its long feet and legs for balance (Wikipedia, general species account).

The sexes look alike, but females are slightly larger and polyandrous, keeping a harem of males; a male incubates the eggs and cares for the young, and chicks may be carried to safety under his wing (Wikipedia, general species account).
