Gallinula tenebrosa
These birds are omnivorous taking plant material, small rodents, amphibians and eggs. They are aggressively territorial during the breeding season, but are otherwise often found in sizeable flocks on the shallow vegetated lakes they prefer.
Spotted this lucky guy in Australia, he was standing on something very interesting!

Braver than any of us. Or just clueless? Maybe this is the before pic and you were not able to get the one where it was gobbled up after :-)
