Nycticorax nycticorax
This is a brown bird about a foot long, living at the lion habitat of the Houston Zoo.
Wetlands. It was spotted standing beside the moat which surrounds the lion habitat.
The bird appears to be wild, living at the zoo of his own accord. (It can easily fly away.) It stood on a rail while I was there, even as people moved fairly close to it.

It looks like you're right. I'll be updating this entry.
Maybe juvenile black-crowned night heron?
