Hello Mick,
Why do you define it as a LittLe Egret?

Hi all,
There was an interesting Little Egret at Mason Park (Sydney) today
with yellow feet and olive-yellow colouring on the legs
(particularly the back of the legs). A couple of (poor) images can
be seen at:

Has anybody else noticed Little Egrets with this much yellow in the
legs? All of the references I looked at failed to really mention
this, though I did find a line in HANZAB saying "Sometimes legs and
feet, greenish-yellow" (which is referenced to Coates's "The Birds
of Papua New Guinea Vol 1.").
I did entertain the possibility of it being a nominate race bird,
but have discounted that now (unless someone can convince me
otherwise). I have other fotos, but none of high quality.
The Pectoral Sandpiper was still present, along with 2 PGPlovers
and a Latham's Snipe.
