is this the same species?
I found this bird around the Cinnamon Bittern that day, is this a juvenile or is it only a Chinese Pond Heron?

Interesting observation.
Several Bittern species have a dark mark at the rear of the iris - Schrencks's and also Cinnamon it appears.
Here is an old Screnck's photo of mine

but it seems Yellow Bittern does not.
I still don't know what the function of this dark iris mark is.
