Please may I request help with my conundrum.
In regard to the attached pics, is it possible to identify the birds seen as to which Cattle Egret.
According to wikipedia the eastern bird in breeding plumage differs from Western Cattle Egret by having the buff extend to the cheek and throat.
However I am confused by some photos on google images taken in India which some western Cattle Egrets looking very similar to my birds
