Nice shot, Richard, but I don't think it is an Ibis, unless it is an albino (this is not an impossibility). As far as I know, all species of Ibis have black bills. :-) :-)

It's a white Ibis found in the southern US. Thousands of them running around FL.

I've seen a real Kiwi and it was one ugly bird. Get a chance to go to New Zealand it's a must do.

There are three species of Ibis in North America, none have black bills. Can't speak of species in other parts of the world.
We do have some egrets with black bills, however.
As mentioned by another poster, these White Ibises are very common here in Florida.

I believe Kiwis are darker, smaller, and lack the ability of flight which our Ibis definitely do not.
