The '''Andean flamingo''' ('''''Phoenicoparrus andinus''''') is a species of [[flamingo]] native to the [[Andes]] mountains of [[South America]]. Until 2014, it was classified in genus ''Phoenicopterus''.<ref>[http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/36]|Torres et al., A multi-locus inference of the evolutionary diversification of extant flamingos (Phoenicopteridae),BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:36.</ref> It is closely related to [[James's flamingo]], and the two make up the genus ''Phoenicoparrus''. The [[Chilean flamingo]], Andean flamingo, and James' flamingo are all [[sympatric]], and all live in [[Bird colony|colonies]] (including shared nesting areas).<ref name="autogenerated1">Mascitti, V. and Kravetz, F.O., "Bill Morphology of South American Flamingos".
