I Agree, Least Bittern!
Very nice. Great bird & great-looking habitat.

The large buffy patch on upper wing with the dark notch breaking in on forewing side and the two buffy flares on wing coverts, etc., etc., leads me to Least Bittern.

Wow!
I like the angle- it looks rather magnificent with its wings outstretched- plus the backround is breathtaking! XD
