It must be a juvenile then as it doesn't look "matured" and have those distinct colorings:
But the more I look at younger herons, the more it makes sense because there's no other bird in the area that looks like that, as far as I can tell. I did see a heron nest a while back, but I figured the nest was un-used as I've only seen it once.

Agreed. The photo I included was of a bird not yet in adult plumage, and it looked exactly like your picture. So, I would say yes, it's a juvenile.
