Hi I found this egret in a pond in an art gallery in Sydney and was wondering if anyone could distinguish whether it is a Intermediate Egret or an Eastern Great Egret? Unfortunately I only have the photos and i wasn't paying close attention to the size of the bird.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Chad

Yes, Eastern modesta form of Great Egret- long bill and obvious gape line goes well past eye.
