Heron - Trinidad (1 Viewer)

[Dabs]

This Heron was seen in 2017. Is this a juvenile Cocoi Heron or juvenile Grey Heron?

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks

Why not a sub-adult great blue heron?

My first thought was great blue heron. If that's out of the question for some reason, I'd say cocoi. Only with the greatest reluctance would I turn to grey because of the extreme length of neck and thickness of bill (amongst other things)

Both head and bend of wing plumage fits a young Great Blue Heron as far as I can see.
