Unknown Bird ~

Can anyone help ?

No idea what variety of bird it is, maybe Terry will know @terryliv

Going by my bird bible, I'm almost certain it is a buff banded rail

[Poppo Livy]

Looking at other pics, yours looks a bit dark but the markings are spot on. Colour intensity can vary a bit between birds in some species so my guess is that that is what it is..
