Satish, Is that a Cattle Egret or a juvenile Great Egret?

but I have only seen them, (Cattle Egrets), in Europe and Africa

Yellow lores , breeding plumes, suggest adult great egret, it looks bigger than yellow-billed.

delicate egret simple but nice

Lovely pose and calming image. For us this is a great egret not a cattle egret. The whites are looking muddy to me. I would push them more.

[Satish Ranadive]

Yes, It is Great Egret.
Thank you all for your feed back.

Satish.

Thank you so much Marina for your kind comments. Yes, I noticed the muddy colour after your comment only. I will take care of it.
Kind request, please change the name in the title.

I think the whites could be a tad whiter?
I really like this image Satish. Very serene aura about it. Nice details.
TFS!
