    I would say that this is an Egrit, no?

    Either way, nice click! :)     Posted 10 years ago

      It definitely is. It's not the little one (it has yellow feet), which leaves either the intermediate or great egret. According to my bird card that is. Posted 10 years ago

The Intermediate egret

The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus "Egretta" or "Ardea". It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
