May be a Sandhill, I've seen lots of them in Brevard county when visiting friends who live there, but I've never seen one in flight! The ones I've seen have been pretty large.

Another shot. All I have seen are the White ones, I don't think they show the dark in the wings. This must be a different type.

there is a glossy ibis, which is all dark, and the young white ibis are darker also. the white adults have dark wing bands. |

Immature White Ibis, about one year old. It is just starting to get the white adult feathering; younger birds are even browner.
