I can't tell from the photo if it is a young bird (excess black on wings and back is not a sign of being a young bird) but assuming the black is real, it is either exceptionally dirty, has been tampered with by someone or had a fight with a black paint tin or oil (they do get into garbage) or has an abnormality of an excess of melanin.

I took this photo at Lake Jerrabomberra this morning. I have never seen a juvenile White Ibis so not sure if this is one or a mismarked bird.

Any thoughts?
