Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/White-faced Heron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - White-faced Heron, Egretta novaehollandiae. During the breeding season pinkish-brown or bronze nuptial plumes appear on the foreneck and breast, with blue-grey plumes appearing on the back.
Reason
Shows whole bird well. The wind lifting up the long breeding plumes illustrates them well, the rose coloured fore-neck feathers also clearly illustrated.
