[Egrets] Is it ill? (Intermediate Egret or Great Egret?)

Is it ill? (Intermediate Egret or Great Egret?)

Is it ill? (It seems the skin on the beak is peeling, and there are unusual brown patches around its beak)

By the way is it Intermediate Egret or Great Egret? Thank you.

It's an Intermediate Egret: the gape does not extends beyond the eye, as in Great Egret, but stops under the eye. Also note the relatively short bill.

No idea about its health.
