At first I thought this was a White Heron but I was told it likely is a Cattle Egret if it has shorter bill, whiter plumage, short neck and a distinct yellow bill. Agree?

Cattle Egret. Shape is different, but you should be able to tell by size as well. Great Egrets are Great big birds!

Thank you all for your responses. These are small birds compared to similar birds like Great White Heron or Snowy Egrets. I think we can safely say it is a Cattle Egret.
