Lone Black-Winged Stilt Wading in Shallow Water

The shot is a mid shot of a black-winged stilt, also known as a common stilt or pied stilt, which is a long-legged wader bird in the avocet and stilt family. It has white feathers on its head and stomach, black feathers on its wings and back, and long pink legs. The stilt stands in the water, facing away from the camera. The water is fairly shallow, as its legs are visible to its upper thighs. The bird occasionally turns its head.
