'''James's flamingo''' ('''''Phoenicoparrus jamesi'''''), also known as the '''puna flamingo''', is a species of [[flamingo]] that lives at high altitudes in the [[Andes|Andean]] plateaus of [[Peru]], [[Chile]], [[Bolivia]], and northwest [[Argentina]].

It is named for Harry Berkeley James, a British naturalist who studied the bird. James's flamingo is closely related to the [[Andean flamingo]], and the two species are the only members of the genus ''Phoenicoparrus''. The [[Chilean flamingo]], Andean flamingo, and James's 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".
