MickinMD ★ Posted May 14, 2021 Share #14 Posted May 14, 2021 It looks like photos of snowy egrets right down to the yellowish mark between the bill and the eye which isn't easy to see in the orig. picture, but I lightened and saturated it with Paintshop Pro: and also note the hairlike feather extensions. But I'm not sure if the neck's right. Stock Picture: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
