 Description:   The painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) is a large wader in the stork family. It is found in the wetlands of the plains of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent and extending into Southeast Asia. Their distinctive pink tertial feathers of the adults give them their name. They forage in flocks in shallow waters along rivers or lakes. They immerse their half open beaks in water and sweep them from side to side and snap up their prey of small fish that are sensed by touch.

The eastern great egret (Ardea alba modesta), a white heron in the genus Ardea, is a subspecies of the great egret (A. alba). It was first described by British ornithologist John Edward Gray in 1831
