Theristicus

Theristicus is a genus of birds in the Threskiornithidae family. They are found in open, grassy habitats in South America. All have a long, decurved dark bill, relatively short reddish legs that do no extend beyond the tail in flight (unlike e.g. Eudocimus and Plegadis), and at least the back is grey.
