Ardea modesta
The Great Egret's overall plumage is white, and, for most of the year, when not breeding, the bill and facial skin are yellow. The feet are dark olive-grey or sooty black, as are the legs. During the breeding season, the bill turns mostly black and the facial skin becomes green.

No devil. It's a Noisy miner that was very popular here a few months back... although that miner was a little devil.
Thanks Mark.
What do you have crawling out of your sunnies? It's kind of creepy like devil eyes or something...
Love this pic. Like a high diver contemplating his backflips, twists and pikes.
