Observation details
Juvenile in white plumage. Very small wader; at one point it perched on a bare branch next to GBHE, revealing dramatic size difference. Pale grey lores and bill tapering to a black tip. Legs and feet dull greenish, with no sign of black. Foraged for several minutes at the edge of the heavily vegetated pond at close range (<50 m), making several prey captures, most of which were frogs. Foraging technique slow and deliberate. Binocular photos are available, as well as a 45-second video of foraging. Same place as where the purple gallinule was found.
