About the intermediate egret

The medium egret (Ardea intermedia), median egret, smaller egret or intermediate egret, is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Mesophoyx. It is a resident breeder in southern and eastern Asia.

Some authorities classify the intermediate egret species complex in its own monotypic genus, Mesophoyx, while others place it with the smaller egrets in Egretta. There were three recognised subspecies, and these are sometimes raised into species:

A. i. brachyrhyncha Brehm, 1854 "yellow-billed egret" - sub-Saharan Africa A.i. intermedia Wagler, 1827 "intermediate egret" - Asia from the Russian Far East to Japan to India and the Greater Sundas A. i. plumifera Gould, 1848 "plumed egret" - eastern Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia.

(i.) brachyrhyncha has much yellower lores and face.
