Soras Have Red Eyes
I never realized this. They mainly stay in hiding and my other shot showed dark eyes. It looks like you only see the red when direct sunlight hits the eye. This was a lucky shot, in my excitement I hit my shutter a few times I didn't mean to, this was one of those times. It was only in the open a second before darting back into cover. When researching soras I found out the two birds I was looking at were both juveniles without the black face mask of an adult.
