The respective image shows neither black heron (Egretta ardesiaca) nor great white egret (Ardea alba).
The dark bird is a dark morph dimorphic heron (Egretta (garzetta/schistacea) dimorpha). The two white birds are white morph dimorphic herons and/or nominate little egrets (Egretta garzetta garzetta): taxonomy, status and field characters of East African egrets are (as of 2010) still not fully resolved. Therefore it is difficult to write a caption that is both simple and correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C6:8F04:9C31:48B6:7B31:8AA:8F9B (talk) 13:04, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
