OK, what's the ID for this "Ding" Darling whitish heron or egret?

I'm guessing from Sibley that it may be a reddish egret (bill, legs, "dancing and spinning" while feeding), but I'd like to be sure.
(Sibley also does say that "the seven species of white herons [...] can be confusing to identify".)
Expert help appreciated. [Thanks.]
Fred
