The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a widely distributed very long-legged wader in the avocet and stilt family (Recurvirostridae). The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is characterized by its extremely long, red legs, white stomach and, true to its name, jet-black wings. Its distinctive legs make up around 60 percent of its overall height, providing it with a feeding advantage over other waders in deeper waters. Young birds can be distinguished by a dash of dark feathers on the usually white head.
