The great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Standing up to 1 m 3.3 ft tall, this species can measure 80 to 104 cm 31 to 41 in in length and have a wingspan of 131 to 170 cm 52 to 67 in. Apart from size, the great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults.
