I agree Liam, I can't think of what it can be otherwise. Thanks a lot!
Possible a young Plumbeous Rail, Pardirallus sanguinolentus: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jmhkoWt79rQ/TQ...
Thanks y'all! Patty, I indeed agree this should be a rail, and I suspect the same as you do, that it's a young.
Nice one; interesting how it holds its tail upright!
Lovely spotting remco! I couldn´t find one just like it in the uruguayan guides I checked... I am tending to think it is a young gallineta - either a pardirallus sangunolentus (gallineta común) or aramides ypecaha (gallineta grande) - which will still change its coloration...Greetings! =)
Wonderful !
