Nice photo, I don't know his name but I think his species is Yellow Billed Stork. Did you photograph him in a zoo or game farm? It's not a new world species.

Regards

Thanks, Mitch! I made maybe 6-7 shots of him, only two came out good.

Well, he's a very handsome fellow, you did him justice.

BTW, was he talking? :)

I don't think so, the wing's all wrong, they are similar but I'm pretty sure it's a yellow billed stork.

As Ron said - definately a Yellow-billed Stork. See them in this neck of the woods quite often.
