017 Intermediate Egret 中白鷺

I have gone thru the Identification check list, I hope I get it right  ;D
Size: Similar to Little Egret (Not Great Egret)
Bill: Yellow Bill with black tip
Neck: Long, thin, S-shape (Not Cattle Egret)
Feet: Black

But then..it is really small... ;D

Hi Dominic,

Yes, you have got it! It is an Intermediate Egret.
However, you missed one important ID feature of it. Please try to find it out from the book lah.
