Name That Bird

We've had a blue heron hanging out at the local pond all this summer but this time, when I was there, I spotted this guy who I've never seen there before. Sorry it is not a good picture, it's a crop of one taken from far away but I'm wondering if anyone can identify this bird for me. The closest I have found, after searching internet pictures, is some kind of Cormorant but I'm not at all sure. There is another shot of him in the this and that folder which may ( or may not) help. http://365project.org/gardencat/this-and-that/2013-09-30
It could be a Cormorant. I can see a little bit of a hook on it bill in the other picture.

Thanks Skip. Someone else who saw the picture thought it was a cormorant too, but the shots are just not good enough to be sure. I'll have to keep my eyes open when near the pond and see if I can spot him again.
