Her Name is Virginia
Virginia Rail, to be exact. ;-) Lucky encounter on a day of pre-breeding excitement in Rail Country, where four rails were crossing the path ahead of me, being very busy with each other.
Usually these birds are very secretive, and way more often heard than seen.
(Full disclosure: besides some AI denoise, I also removed a part of the gravel pathway using "AI-powered Generative Remove" using Lightroom CC 7.3)
