I think I will agree with a suggestion in http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/631457 (same post by me). The reason is that this bird has grey chest whereas the night heron is having white chest. Further more, the female night heron is not having the blue crest. I could be wrong as I am new in observing birds.
Lenny, please, do not forget to add some links, thanks!
