I know this guy is a type of Heron but does anybody know what type? I thought the Great Blue Herons had a black stripe on the top of their head so I'm thinking he's something else.

I believe the black (or dark blue) stripe is on each side of the head, with white stripe down the middle (Google search and my personal experience), so I'm pretty this is a Great Blue. Isn't it interesting how they often mimic a flamingo? :)
