Adult Rufescent Tiger-Herons are easy to different from the other two species of Tiger-Herons (Fasciated and Bare-throated) in the genus Tigrisoma. The young birds are much more difficult to differentiate and they can take up to 5 years to achieve adult plumage. However, in most areas they do not overlap with some exceptions for the Fasciated and Rufescent. In the Pantanal in Brazil, the kind you will see most is the Rufescent where these were all photographed.
