Thanks for the ID, Idol. Been following your Candaba sorties. Where's the best spot to stay there? Been there twice, but i guess i should be there really early. always got there around 9 am.

I prefer shooting in the afternoon, and my favorite spot are the ponds west of the mayor's resthouse.  Thanks for the ID, Idol. Been following your Candaba sorties. Where's the best spot to stay there? Been there twice, but i guess i should be there really early. always got there around 9 am. |

Yes, ID essentially correct. Very subtle differences. I would probably have said that this is a subadult female bird (persistance of juvenile bluish mantle without paler feather edges; few pale shaft streaks on the lower neck dorsally).
