Louisianna bird in silhouette
Yes I know this is virtually impossible since the bird is in total silhouette. I photographed this bird sometime ago and have no recall of any details. I do, however, rather like the photo and would like to be able to put a name to the bird. I assume that it is an Egret, possibly a Great White, as I remember seeing them that trip. But would be grateful for any more positive suggestions.

The shape of the body in conjunction with the semi-thick neck topped by a slightly thicker head, and the length and thickness of the bill. This is a classic pose for Yellow-crowns, often exhibited by the birds which nested four blocks from my house.
