Bird ID request - Heron?

Hi Guys,

I am in Florida for a week and wondered if the locals and bird pros can confirm for me that this is a Great Blue Heron of the "white morph" variety? Thanks.





Much appreciated!

Looks like a Great Egret Ardea alba. White morph has yellow legs.

Thanks! Getting close to those guys with a 300mm lens is no easy task... crawling along the ground like a commando! I think I need the 400+1.4TC+monopod next time.
