SPRING 2012 bird ID thread

Shot at my state park yesterday:

When I shot it, my instantaneous look through the viewfinder made me think it was a green heron, but the fourth pic is a green heron, for comparison.

I think it might be a juvenile yellow-crowned night heron, so I'm looking for wisdom from the collective.
