Observation details
1. Circling / gliding in the area. At first, thought it a Cattle Egret. But when it was closer, the hind portion looked so different. It was flying slow, so got some shots for identification even it was very high above. I always thought that gulls are like Oriole size birds. This are actually much bigger! 2. Non-breeding plumage? 3. Confirmation from FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bird.ids.of.the.indian.subcontinent/permalink/1049338139839226/
