Pelecanus conspicillatus

Australian Pelican Australian Pelican
The Australian Pelican, obviously from Australia but also Fiji, New Guinea and parts of Indonesia (both coastal and freshwater), has distinctive black-edged wings with a white centre and also a face that looks as if the grey-outlined, yellow-bordered eyes and grey-lines on the pink bill have been painted on. It has a longest bill of any living bird in the world.

The "painted" grey lines on the pink lower bill distinguish the Australian Pelican (first photo above also includes Great White).
