In these images we can observe different species of flamingo.
Birds of the fenicopteriform order.
And in particular, in these static images (in the photos) we see the Austral of Chilean Flamingo.
Even though they also could be the Andean flamingo.
...that is different from the others because it has lighter plumage...
...even though it is slightly darker in the tail area.
This type of plumaje is a soft salmon pink.
It has to be said that flamingos in general have a white or lighter plumage when they are young.
And also when they have health problems or some type of illness.
This is because the color that flamingos have...
...is a direct consequence of good health...
...since the pigments that give them the coloration of bright pink come from there.
For that reason, flamingos with better color attract the opposite sex, and are in many cases are leaders of the group.
From there their pink color, or even bright red, is a sign of social status for these birds.
