sorry i didn't say it before. Notice the colours of the legs there you have the mayor differences between the 3 species that you can see in Atacama or in Chile.

Carolina, I'll look for more photos of this flamingo and will post to ask questions. I saw it in Atacama about 2 years ago. Sorry, my english is not very good! Tks
Carolina
I think its a James flamingo because I can't see any yellow color in its legs, but if you remember seeing it with yellow legs, then is an Andean flamingo.
