This question is really rhetorical, because commensalism is one of the symbiotic relationships between one animal species and another. Thus the question really answers itself: the symbiotic relationship between egret and cattle is commensalism.
If it's truly symbiotic, no, by definition.

The cattle egret and the African ankole have a symbiotic relationship called mutualism. In this relationship, two different organisms work together and each one benefits from it.
any relationship shared between 2 organisms that is mutually beneficial for the both concerned is called a symbiotic relationship environment. Like a relationship between the Egret bird and the crocodile. The bird helps the animal with cleaning of his teeth and in return gets food.
The only relationship between a Cattle Egret and grazing animals is that the Egret will remove fleas and ticks from cattle. It will also follow other grazing animals as they eat, picking the insects that they stir up while they graze.
They have a 'symbiotic' relationship. The egret cleans the buffalo skin of flies and parasites, and the buffalo gives the egret 'protection' from any animal that would otherwise eat the bird !
Symbiosis
Commensalism does exist in nature. It means a relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is not affected. An example is the cattle egret and cattle. The egrets live near the cattle and benefit by eating the insects stirred up by the cattle's hooves. The cattle are not affected.
The symbiotic relationship that they have is called commensalism. It is a type of relationship wherein one organism benefits from other with the latter not affected by it.
