Egretta thula
I found this bird in the river right near the hot spring pond in Kyushu, Japan. You can see the steam coming out from the water in the video.

I was in Japan, but now I am back in New York. Thank you very much for very interesting website. I truly appreciate it.
Forgot you're in Japan. Maybe this may help.

Thank you very much. I am little confused. Some of other spotters are posting very similar bird as mine as "Little Egret."
For example, here are some of other posts:

They all have black legs and yellow feet, including my video.
I would like to know how to determine.....
Snowy Egret, you can tell by the black legs and yellow feet.
