I guess it is Juvenile Night Heron. Hope you can find it again.

I haven't seen it again but I do come across Night herons of diff ages now and then at that pier, they don't look like the one that puzzled me. The unknown bird has eye-catching orange/red legs and stand with a horizontal posture, while night heron looks like having a more slanted body to me.
