Brad photographed a Purple Heron as it flew over us the morning of August 22, 2012. We'd left Nxamaseri Island Lodge (Maun, Botswana) before sunrise by boat for our last birding expedition there. The Purple Heron, Ardea purpurea, has rufous underwings. The general impression of size and shape (GISS) of this species is shown here. Temperatures were in the low 70's.
