I think you should rule out Great Egret as well, and that’s hard.

The gape extends clearly behind the eye, where it should extend no further than below the eye in Intermediate. Also, the very long, strong and pointed bill, and the head shape (no trace of the more rounded, kind of friendlier or cuter looking appearance in Intermediate) points to Great Egret.

Just one picture is always tricky, but I would say Great Egret.
