Sex, Age, Comment | Adult bird. The colors are bad here, but the two-colored bill without reddish base and the purplish upper neck combined with bluegray body give the species. The base of the bill appears yellow here, but is caused by the light angle. Dark morph of Reddish Egret is somewhat similar but is always a more heavy bird and with more reddish brown and grayish colors. | ||||||||||||
