Phoenicoparrus jamesi, commonly known as James's flamingo, is a species of flamingo found primarily in high-altitude lakes in the Andes mountains of South America. It is characterized by its pale pink plumage, long legs, and distinctive downward-bending bill, which helps it filter-feed on algae and small crustaceans in the water. This bird typically inhabits saline and alkaline lakes, often at elevations above 4,000 meters. James's flamingo is known for its social behavior, often seen in large flocks. Conservation efforts are important for this species, as its habitat is threatened by climate change and human activities.
