The Madagascar Pond Heron, also called Malagasy Pond Heron, in breeding plumage looks like a Little Egret with a blue beak and pink legs/feet.
Despite its name, it is native to much of central, south and east Africa.
Both male and female have white breeding plumage with blue face and bill and pink legs. The non-breeding plumage is streaky brown with greyish bill and legs.
