Ardea alba
The Great Egret is a large, widely-distributed egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe it is rather localized. In North America it is more widely distributed, and it is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the rainforests of South America.
Reelfoot lake, Tennessee.

Thank you for the correction Chief! I had the scientific name & the link for Great egret but must have had a lapse of concentration when I added the common name!
