    1/8000 sec; f/5.6; ISO 160
    Manual; Matrix metering

    The quality of the silhouette itself is beautiful. I especially like the feather fringing along much of the contour. The cut bill is rather unfortunate though. Is this a FF image?

    I agree and understand the same now.

    I think it is little blue heron, not snowy egret

    I would bet on Snowy Egret with the thin bill. I have been wrong before ... Go to the RAW file and lighten it and LMK :)

    Agree with Daniel. Very nice silhouette. Would have liked to see the whole birds bill.

    OK, for a third try, I think it's a tri-colored. Light chin, looks like breeding lores/eye and the classic tuft feathers.

    Thanks for lightening it. I was wrong but so were you :) David is correct; it is clearly a Tricolored Heron. The bill of LBH is much thicker.
