I now have to agree it is a Yellow Bittern.

Subject: FW: Christmas Island Unknown Heron Identification = Yellow Bittern
This is a much better photo and changes my mind re its identity. Now, as
Jeff was trying to persuade us, I have no doubt that it is a Yellow Bittern.
Now Brendon, if others agree, you have to prepare two submissions to Birds
Australia Rarities Committee (BARC), this and the Cinnamon Bittern. If you
need help with those, see the BARC website or contact our chairman Tony
Palliser, copied in above.
