This is indeed a Great Blue as has already been stated.
Wow .. Thanks and sorry ... I did not know the part of the "Americas" :/
At first I was thinking Grey Heron, because the long ponytail like head feathers were not showing and the white crown seems a bit bigger on the Grey Heron then the Blue. But it must be the Great Blue Heron, thanks to Livan's local knowledge :-)
Leonardo, Grey Heron extremely similar, but not found in the Americas.
