Western Reef Egret

This bird has two plumage colour forms. There is an all-white morph and a dark grey morph; intermediate morphs also occur. The white morph is similar in general appearance to the Little Egret, but has a thicker yellower bill, extended yellow on thicker legs, and a less elegant appearance. The grey morph is unlikely to be confused with any other species within the range of this egret with beak and legs similar to the white morph.
