Having read the recent post ""Yellow-crowned Night Heron & Black-crowned Night Heron"" by Rotarran I am left wondering which Heron I have recently photographed. I originally thought Black-Crowned. While the photos were taken of the bird well back in the deep shade I hope there is sufficient detail for an ID. As always your assistance is appreciated. Thanks,

Black-crowned it is. Bill mostly light-coloured. Back brown with heavy spotting.
