Looking at the legs, looks like Dimorphic Egret (Egretta dimorpha), though Western Reef Heron (Egretta gularis) is also possible. Have followed IOC 4.4, some authorities list dimorpha as a subsp. of Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), others as E. gularis dimorpha. |

Bill longer and stronger than for Dimorphic. Too much yellow on legs (which also relatively long). |
