Little Egret, Dark morph (Egretta garzetta)

The dark morph of the Little Egret is very similar to the Dimorphic Egret and the Western Reef Egret, those however do not occur in the Julius Nyerere NP ( former Selous Game Reserve). The Little Egret has less white in the face and throat than the Dimorphic E.. The W. Reef Egret has a yellow bill and yellowish leggs.
