possibly Javan pond heron

having problems uploading full-size image so have cheated and made it smaller in paint

Do I have a correct ID on this?

Would say it's a female of the species if it is.

I've often found Google the best source for this type of identification.

Thanks Satan, I looked at the wikipedia page for the species; and it looks like the 'non-breeding plumage' image - but that is wikipedia

Can anybody say if this is indeed Javan or if it's Indian? I'm going through my photos in an attempt to get up to date with records of what I've photographed, and I'm not 100% sure either way.

It was in the carpark aviaries, and from memory it was mixed with something (either Laughing kookaburra or Satyr tragopan I think)
