Hi Askar! This egret looks like Ardea alba (the skinny yellowish gap goes far behind the vertical line drawn trough the midle of the eye).
According to the coloration of the feet (entire black), it can be A.a.modesta - Eastern Great Egret (this subspecies, or full species as some taxonomist belive, was originally described from India)
