Yellow-crowned Night-heron -juvenile (b)

Rankin Bottoms

Not as clear an image as the preceding one, but it shows the longer neck & legs, thicker bill and upright posture that distinguish YCNH from BCNH. Only the second I've seen here, where BCNH is common. For me, the tall scrawny profile identified the species.
Also, the flight call was higher-pitched than BCNH.
