The color of the Lava Heron looks rather dull and grey, until you get close up like this. In certain angles to the light you can see some iridescence.
Like the other herons in Galapagos you won’t see it unless you know what to look for, or it moves. The plumage is a perfect camouflage against the volcanic rocks.
