Observation details
Bird resembling a Great Blue Heron in structure, but significantly smaller. Much closer in size to a Great Egret. Pale overall, lacking crown stripe and lacking head plumes. It also had solid yellow lores, dark black legs (including bottom of feet). Photographed including a comparison in size to a GBHE.
