I am a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron,
You can tell cause my bill's solid black
My legs are longer than my tail
And I've got little white spots on my back

Go to this page, and click on the dots after the description until you have the juvenile Yellow-crown and Black-crown side by side; the differences are quite apparent.
