Presumably a Great Egret x Great Blue Heron Hybrid. I was going through some old trip photos and noticed this guy. Originally assumed Reddish Egret, but the gape length clearly puts this bird in Ardea.

Continuing odd Red-winged Blackbird. Outwardly male, but lower breast is very female-like. Lots of leucism mainly in tail and vent area but also leggings and odd patches such as a slight bit along the edge of the wing "shoulder". See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/144558985 for earlier observations.

Managed to get some slightly better photos of this odd bird. The head and back look like a male, the lower breast looks female and the tail is leucistic. Also see: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/144027411

Or possibly Tufted Duck X Greater Scaup. Tufted Duck X Scaup (sp) does not seem to be an option. A Tufted Duck X Scaup (sp) was reported here on 25 January 2005 (https://ebird.org/checklist/S70674106). See also http://birdhybrids.blogspot.com/2017/03/tufted-duck-x-lesser-scaup.html .
