Black-winged Stilt (juvenile)

This is a young Black-winged Stilt. Like the adults it has rather long pink legs and a black bill. "Young Black-winged Stilts lack black on the back of the neck and have grey-brown wings and back, speckled with white. They have a smudged grey crown, which extends down the back of the neck as the birds get older." (Birdlife Australia: http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/black-winged-stilt )
