Bronze-Winged Jacana

The bronze-winged jacana is rail-like, short-tailed and appears dark at a distance except for the supercilium. The wings are bronzy brown with a green sheen. The head, neck and breast are black and contrast with the white supercilium that runs from over the eye to the back of the neck. The lower back and tail coverts are chestnut. The tail is stubby and reddish brown with a black terminal band. The greenish yellow bill has a red base on the upper mandible. A frontal shield extends up over the forehead and is reddish purple. The legs are greenish. The toes are long and the straight and and elongated nail on the hind toe is longer than the toe. 

This is the best look at the frontal shield, but it does not show-up well. 

This is the best view of the red base on the upper mandible.

It is distributed across the Indian Subcontinent, but not found in Sri Lanka or western Pakistan, and Southeast Asia, mostly in low elevations. 

Range of the bronze-winged jacana from Wikipedia.

It forages on lilies and other floating aquatic vegetation using its long feet and legs for balance. Sexes are alike, but females are slightly larger and are polyandrous, maintaining a harem of males during breeding season in the monsoon rains.  

I saw one bronze-winged Jacana in the Eastern Range of Kaziranga NP in Assam, India. The information in this post is all from Wikipedia and much of it is word-for-word, although I have not made the effort to put in quotation marks.
