Pink-backed Pelican

Pelecanus rufescens

Found in Africa, Southern Arabia & Southern India.

Relatively small pelican, although by no means is it a small bird.

Adults are grey and white, with a pinkish hue on the back occasionally apparent.

The top of the bill is yellow and the pouch is usually greyish.

Breeding adults have long feather plumes on the head.

As with most species of Pelican, they usually fly in group formations.
