         with the head and neck black and nearly bare of
         feathers. The East Indian and Australian ({Xenorhynchus

         purple. The African jabiru ({Mycteria, or
         Ephippiorhynchus, Senegalensis}) has the neck, head,
         wing coverts, and tail, black, and is called also
         {saddle-billed stork}.
