Gallinula chloropus
The moorhen is a distinctive species, with dark plumage apart from the white undertail, yellow legs and a red frontal shield. The young are browner and lack the red shield. The frontal shield of the adult has a rounded top and fairly parallel sides; the tailward margin of the red unfeathered area is a smooth waving line

Beautiful spotting! Gallinula chloropus is a closely related species that is not found in North America (as far as I know).
