I saw a bird in the Yucatan that was the exact shape and size of a bare-throated tiger heron. It did not have a bare throat. It had a yellow throat with bars resembling a ladder. It also had a dark azure, almost aquamarine cap with an orange edge to it. The rest of the coloring was typical of a bare-throated tiger heron, and very distinctive, as if breeding plumage. It was beautiful, but baffling. I can't find photos of it anywhere; the closest is an ordinary bare-throated tiger heron. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Hmm... That's odd, maybe an agami or green heron?
