Ardea alba melanorhynchos—with black legs, a dagger-shaped bill, a light loral area, a long gape, and a wide 'moustache' reaching the tomium. I can finally put a name on this Great Egret seen on Santiago (Cape Verde) in 02/2022. Great paper in DB and superb illustrations by Sébastien Reeber! Thanks!
add a skeleton here at some point
