[Herons] Malayan Night Heron sub-adult

Malayan Night Heron sub-adult

Graham Talbot found and digiscoped (!!) this rather wet-looking sub-adult gorsachius Night Heron shortly after the rain stopped on Po Toi early this morning (Friday 7th). I saw it about 30 minutes later.



We presume it is Malayan although its overall brownish colour is very different to the grey-brown of last year's sub-adult bird, see this photo of last year's bird for comparison



Can anyone explain the difference?
