This wetland bird has a blue-grey body and black tail. Large groups may appear or move after rain.
Its body is dark blue-grey, with olive-brown back and wings, a black tail, white flank marks, and orange-pink legs.
It uses fresh and saline wetlands and eats insects, vegetation, and seeds. It disperses in response to rainfall, and large groups may arrive and leave quickly.
