Authors Note
As far as I can determine, this is an American pattern, however, there are nine other patterns that belong to the Ibis family. The only other one of any significance is the Silver Ibis, which has a flat silver tinsel body and is otherwise tied the same as the Scarlet Ibis. Sometimes the Scarlet Ibis is referred to as the Red Ibis. There is a pattern called the Cardinal that is tied the same except with all fluorescent red materials.
