    Ecuador - Green Heron?

    An odd Striated Heron type from Puyo, Ecuador January 2020. It seems pretty chestnut on breast, side of head tend to fit Green Heron better. Or could it even be a hybrid between Striated and Green Heron?

    Green Heron (Butorides virescens virescens) It was eating tadpoles like they were candy. I looked away to find the Yellow-billed Cuckoo I was hearing. When I looked back its throat was enlarged. Obviously it had found something considerably larger than tadpoles to eat.

    I realize this could look like an image with artificial lightning during capture or post processing. Neither is true, completely natural light. However, as I took this image sun was behind me and rain was starting from the opposite direction. Lucky draw except for the extent I got wet ...

    It seems to me that this bird shown even less tail than usual, probably due to molt. I never got completely convinces whether there was a second bird up in the trees.
