Age of Chinese Pond Heron

Can anyone tell me if this Chinese Pond Heron is an adult in winter plumage or (perhaps more likely) an immature bird? And why? The photo was taken at Mai Po at the end of June[local]1[/local].

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone for their useful comments! So a juvenile it is.
