Picture info: |
This picture shows why the subspecies name is negripes. Obviously the feet are more black than in ssp. garzetta the familiar European bird with all-yellow brightly coloured feet. Here only sole of the feet are 'dirty' yellow - along with lines on the inner-lateral part of the legs (a none-breeding or sub-adult bird feature?). |
