thanks Sukanya and kibuyu...

I agree with SukanyaDatta. The black bill and legs, and the head plumes, and the location, are all good for Little E.

I'm not sure Sukanya as they are in the water. In photo 3 the bird perched on the branch seems to have light coloured feet.

Egret, of that I am sure. What colour are the feet? Yellow or black?
