???The egret on the right side of the above photo looks like a little egret, but it has black toes, not yellow toes, as shown in the photo below. Is it a little egret?

Dear Miss Wong,

I think it is a Little egret (by its unique breeding feather on it's head ,its blackish bill, its size .......). The toes were covered by mud so they looked black.
