Looks like you are right to me, due to the legs and bill colors and the lacy plumes.

But I'm not seeing any hint of the "golden slippers". In one shot it appears like dark feet. Let's see what others say.

KC - What else would you suggest this bird to be?

Looks good for Snowy Egret to me.

It's gotta be a Snowy with that bill. Just thought I saw a hint of dark feet under the water in pic #1

KC To bad there was'nt a polarizing filter. I blew that rascal up to 300%, fiddled with gamma, color correction, contrast---not a sign of a foot. Too much reflection.
Only other bird I know of that size, that shape, that color, would be a first year little blue with greenish legs.
