This photo was taken at Thattekad, Kerala, India on 11th Nov 2014.
Request help with the ID of this egret - is it a white morph Western Reef Egret?
I am confused by the leg colour - they seem to be yellow up to a
little below the 'knee' and black above that. As per illustrations in
Grimmett, none of the egrets seem to have legs coloured like this -
the Intermediate and Large have all-black legs, the Little has yellow
only on the feet and rest of the leg is black, the Cattle has
all-yellow. Hence the only option seems to be the Western Reef Egret.
Request help to confirm or correct the ID.
Thanks / regards
