I'm looking in my book and can't tell the difference between cattle egret and snowy egret. Where does this one fall?

The reddish wash on the plumes leans toward cattle egret. I've heard of egrets having the pink lores and I've seen similar photos. If you see yellow feet on black legs you will know its a snowy egret.
