Bare-throated Tiger-Heron

The Bare-throated Tiger-Heron is a large but rather short-legged, primal-looking heron of mangroves and freshwater marshes in tropical lowlands. This is a juvenile Bare-throated Tiger-Heron.


Often found in areas with trees, but also around ponds in rather open marshes. All plumages have naked yellow throat skin, greenish legs.


The adult has gray cheeks, finely barred plumage, and rusty thighs; immature is boldy barred blackish and warm brown.
