Is this a Great Egret?

I\'m thinking it is but would like confirmation.

no it isn't. I think its a cattle egret, stretching its neck out. They are very common in Singapore (derived from birds released at Jurong).

Thanks Chlidonias, I didn't think cattle egret because I thought they had buff coloured plumes on their heads, although now I believe this is only in breeding season? However on closer inspection the birds in both pictures do have a little of this buff plumage.
