Yes, this is a squacco heron, Ardeola ralloides.
Could be! I'm better at the US and Europe than anywhere else. See if Liam the bird identification expert can help you.
Thanks, Ava. I googled bittern and it led me to squacco heron. What do you think?
I think this is a bittern but I don't know what kind.
