Little Blue Heron, perhaps a hybrid, Hammonasset SP, 4/18/17

Little Blue Heron, perhaps a hybrid,  in same area as Virginia Rail, Hammonasset, 4/18/17.  Note very large bill, longer than typical Little Blue Heron.   Light color of base of legs; and light feathering on neck and throat.  Also, notice upright, elongated posture. All of these features point to hybrid with   Tricolored Heron.
