The red-naped ibis (Pseudibis papillosa), also known as the Indian black ibis, has a patch of crimson red warty skin on the crown and nape – hence its name. It is found on the Indian subcontinent and in Southern Asia, where it inhabits marshes, lakes, riverbeds and irrigated farmland. Indian ibises mostly feed in shallow waters on aquatic insects, mollusks, frogs, and food sifted from the water surface.
