Think I would go with Reef Egret, striated has a black cap which this one does not have.

I think it is what we used to call the Mangrove Heron but which is now called the Striated Heron I think. It has wide colour variation including a greyish morph with a yellowish bill , although I only recall seeing the lower bill yellow. Cheers

Subject: [canberrabirds] Off topic - heron/egret photo taken at Montgomery Reef, Kimberley, WA
Hi Everyone,
A friend took this shot recently and I am unable to positively ID it ... Eastern Reef Heron is about all I could come up with, but the yellow bill doesn't seem to fit.
Help with Id would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Julie
