Egretta sacra is rather large, body length from beak to tail about 57 cm. This species is often found in two colors, namely white species like herons in general; or, more commonly seen as charcoal gray, with a whitish chin that is difficult to see in the field. With a short crest. On the beach, their habitat for food, this egret often looks dusky. The shape with white color is similar to the buffalo egret, but bigger in size, and the head and neck are slimmer. The legs are greenish, and relatively short to distinguish it from other types of herons. Also its beak is pale yellow
