Is this bird also known as Egretta ardesiaca? Smallweed 17:59, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Egretta ardesiaca is the Black Heron of tropical Africa. jimfbleak

Thanks Jim. The reference I was looking at has got Intermediate Egret as Mesophoyx intermedia. Wagler also described the Black Heron, which is where I made my mistake. Smallweed 21:37, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I'm afraid that heron taxonomy is a matter of pick a genus, any genus - Great Egret is variously Ardea, Egretta or Casmoderius alba

90cm?? Not in Australia.
