female purple gallinule
This gallinule was foraging in the foliage at the Green Cay Wetlands, Florida. It was accompanied by a male gallinule.
Our best guess on this bird is that it is a female because of its coloring - more greenish brown on the neck and head and body. However, discussion with friends raises the question if it might be a juvenile male. If anyone knows definitively please comment.
