[cobirds] Solitary ibis at Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe County

While at the bird observation area near Prairie Loop this morning around 8:15, I spotted a solitary ibis. It was in the water near the large boulders at the bird observation area and then flew to the mudflat just east of where the creek empties into the reservoir. The light wasn't great, but I got one decent photo. When I enlarge the photo, no red facial skin or white border is visible. If anyone else is in that area and spots the bird, I'd love to know if you think it may be a Glossy Ibis or just an immature White-faced.

Thank you.
