Melanistic individual?
Observation details
There were two individuals roosting near each other in the mangroves. One was a normally plumaged bird, while the other one was a little strange. It seems to be a slightly melanistic individual. Photos below. The weird plumated Green Heron I found made it into the following publication. They identified it as a erythristic individual: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330365465_New_sightings_of_melanistic_Green_Herons_Butorides_virescens_in_the_Caribbean_suggest_overlooked_polymorphism
