Some guy from Texas was trying to tell me this was a white morph of the Great Blue Heron. Not sure - couldn't see if it had yellow legs and feet.

Looking at it closer I think its a Palm Warbler streaked breast and yellow undertail coverts did it flick its tail up and down alot??

Sorry but nope its not , you dont have to see the legs , this bird has both the breeding plumage of the egret , not the heron , and the bill on a heron is straighter on top with the lower curving up to it.
( theres other differences as well ) keep looking though , they arent exceedingly unusual down there. I got one on merritt island even.
Frankly Id rather get a shot of a Würdemann’s Heron, which is white morph great blue with dark morph great blue.
