Reddish egret (Egretta rufescens)


Reddish egrets grow to a height of 27 to 32 inches (68 to 82 cm), with a wingspan reaching 46 to 49 inches (116 to 124 cm). Their distinguishing characteristics include two distinctly different colour phases: a dark phase and a white phase. Reddish egrets in the dark phase are grey with a reddish head and neck feathers. They have bluish legs and a pink bill with a dark tip. In the white phase, these birds will have white feathers, bluish legs, a pink bill with dark tip and long shaggy plumes on their heads and necks during breeding season.
