Formerly lumped with Green Heron, and further split from Little Heron, this species comprises birds from South and Central America, and is monotypic. It overlaps with Green Heron but the two are
easily distinguished, at least in adult plumage. Still variable, birds here are from Venezuela and Argentina.
