Hello,
I have a question about the egret in the middle of this photo. I think it might be a white morph of Western Reef Egret Egretta gularis.
Bill is thicker and curved, shape is different than that of Lesser or Greater Egrets.

Photo taken in Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka, 13.12.2024

Thanks in advance!
