This bird was following a buffalo.

I am confused with this spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/171..., could it be Cattle egret. The pictures of cattle egret in Wikipedia are different [not like this spotting]
Just to follow up on your previous comment about leg coloration...From the suggestion link "Juvenile birds have a greyish-black wash to bill and legs". Also the snowy has a thin black bill. But of course, you've already accepted the suggestion :-)
Hello! Bubulcus ibis gets its common name "cattle egret" from the observation cited in your description. It also has 6 suggestion votes. Why not add it to the scientific and common names as appropriate, so as to complete the identification of your spotting? Cheers
Beautiful Emma the egrets and you are linked,you found them every where :-)
