Is this the proper designation? And what are the distinguishing characteristics?

I believe that is correct, but will let John tell you for sure.
They are white with black legs and get electric pink lores in breeding season. Behavior is the same as the red morph.
Here's a pic of one of them, starting to get a little color.

White plumage year round.
In breeding dark blue legs.
Beautiful electric blue lores with black tipped pink / fuschia bill.
Behavior is just like Reddish Egret.
