Observation details
Initially IDed as an immature Rufescent Tiger Heron, but after doing addition research to confirm I noted it did not match any immature Tiger Heron, which all have barred breasts, not rufous streaks like this bird. It does closely resemble images of Pinnated Bittern, and the upright posture with head held high would seem to support that ID, a very Bittern thing to do. It held this posture the whole time we viewed it, 5+ minutes, and scarcely moved a muscle.
