Description
masked finfoot, Asian finfoot (Heliopais personatus)

Description
English: This lone Masked Finfoot (Heliopais personata) was photographed on 07 Feb 2007 in a pond at FRIM -a reserve at the northern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. This is supposedly a female but it has a 'horn' that occurs on male. So there had been some controversies on its true gender and age. Its relatively tameness and persistance to the pond for nearly half a hear had made this one of the most watched rarity bird in Malaysia.
