A striking close-up of a Southern Screamer standing on a grassy patch, with one leg drawn up under its belly. The bird has a predominantly grey, fluffy plumage and a slightly hunched posture. Its face is pale with a distinctive red patch around the eye, and it has a short, chicken-like black beak. The bird’s visible leg is pinkish, and its wings and tail feathers are dark-tipped. The background features lush green foliage, providing a natural, wooded setting.
