A large heron with chestnut-brown neck, two black lines running down the side of the neck. Black cap, with nape plumes. Upperparts mostly grey, with maroon belly and flanks. In flight, maroon underwings differentiate it from other herons. Young birds are light brown and lack the neck markings of adults.
