I believe it might be a youngish female Black Bittern Ixobrychus flavicollis

I think it looks like a green heron with its head pulled back close to its body.

Gotta go with Hank on that one. Extend the neck and they are identical.

Aren't you in OZ? Not sure if you get the Green there. It might be a Green-backed Heron.

Yes I have to agree, the markings are more similar..... particularly on the wings
