Red-naped Ibis - Pseudibis papillosa
These are usually wetland birds although I photographed this bird in a field. They use their long decurved bills to probe for food in wet mud. They are fairly substantial birds with wing spans of getting on for 4 or 5 feet.
This particular ibis species are widespread across India, Pakistan and Nepal. The remaining 30 or so species are spread across most of the globe.
