Ardea cocoi
The cocoi heron is similar in appearance to the closely related great blue heron (Ardea herodias), but is much whiter, and can also be distinguished by the completely black cap, the white rather than grey neck, and white rather than chestnut thighs and wing edges. ARKive

Thanks!
Awesome bird. Quite similar to our Great Blue Heron. If you have time, could you add this and any other Ecuadorian bird spottings to the Birds of Ecuador mission?
