Egretta rufescens
White morph. Large, white bird with a pink bill that has a black base. The legs are solid dark gray. Easiest way to ID them besides the bill is to just watch their hunting behavior, they don't act like any other egret/heron.
Hunting right along the beach in a bay.

beautiful series!
The lower Texas coast has tons of the white morphs, I usually see more white morphs than I do normal ones. Very cool birds!
I really hope to see one of white morph one day, Iv'e only seen the dark morph. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/107...
