Thank you. I got the ID right this time, although it is hard not to on these guys.

Great shot. I've been watching their cousins in Hawaii.
Thank you. What do their cousins look like? Same colouring?

Very similar coloring. With my untrained eye, I only see a bit more black covering the neck of the Hawaii cousins.
The Hawaiian name, ae'o, means "one standing tall". This link provides some info of the stilts in Hawaii

A bit more black on the neck, but they do look pretty similar.
Interesting. I wonder how they originally got there?
