Gallinula Chloropus
It had a patch of red on it's forehead and not webbed feet with very long "toes".
I found it in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, swimming around in a little pond/river.
here is another to check out with chicks: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/630...
my spot is a common gallinule:

I alos spotted a purple gallinule:http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6605328
It's a Gallinule of some sort. it sure looks like a Dusky Moorhen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusky_Moorh...), but what it would be doing in that part of the world is anybody's guess!
