I saw  this one this morning in Pickering.  I tried an on-line search but found the information confusing![attachment=0:39qsyw7m]egret or heron.JPG[/attachment:39qsyw7m]  Legs were black (or very  dark)

A bit more info for you.  The only heron/egret seen regularly here that is all white is the great egret.  It is much bigger than the other options (about the same size as a great blue heron).  Also note the almost or all yellow bill with some green at near the eyes. And the dark grey legs.
