Blue Billed Heron

Blue Billed Heron

I haven't been able to identify this bird. Any help in correct identification and nomenclature will be appreciated.
 
The bird stands up to 3 feet, has blue legs and paws with are yellow-brown. Could be that that is lake mud sticking. The bill is blue. White feathers and a floppy plume hanging back from its head. There is also a chest hair of fine feathers and one on its rump...
 
Snapped in the shade on the banks of Nakki Lake, Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.
 
Camera used: Nikon D5100 DSLR with Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens.
