Ibis Morph?

Really confused by this ibis. It was seen in Weipa which is on the Cape York penisula. Can anyone identify it?

Looks like a white ibis. It’s probably brown from the ucapliptus tree leaves in the water.

I think it might be a young Glossy Ibis.

Hmm...now that you mentioned that, I think it is. Never see a glossy ibis. One of this birds I’m not familiar with.

I have seen many glossy ibis's before and they are much smaller and glossier. So I think it is something else, perhaps a white ibis that rolled around in the orange dirt???
