Definitely Little Egret. Ardea alba is larger with a yellow beak. The Little Egret is smaller and has a black beak. Very similar to the Snowy Egret here in the U.S. Hopes this helps!

@chimetsetan: You could be right. I had a tough time deciding the beak color and it does appear to be black which probably means little egret.

Looks like it might be with Black Heron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Heron
