i think i have already seen an adult of this species. i just didn't figure that this is an immature. i'm quite confused with these herons.. the purple heron that's not purple.. etc. hahaha!
adult bird will be darker and will not see the dots on their wings... :)
really? thanks for the information. i'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to birds :D
