There was little light, and the background didn't help outline the bird, but I like the whiter lines (actually, snowy egrets perching in the vegetation). The picture actually runs from right to left, but I felt that a slight crop and rotating the image so it went from left to right.
This is a style I'm investigating since some time ago my 80-200 started having random communication problems with my D200, which resulted in the lens stopping down on his own. In A mode, following a bird in flight, the result was surprisingly interesting, so I started to shoot this kind of stuff often.
Anyway, it's still a work in progress, as most of my nature photography :)

Honestly, you can call it any bird you like and I won't be able to tell from your photo :D:D
I remember decades ago I read about a photographer who basically shot this kind of photos only: all blurred. Then it hit me: "that's painting with light !"
I'm wondering it would be even better if the bird were a bit closer to the center.
