Red-legged Crake
It is a small, brightly-coloured crake of wet patches in dense forests. It is brown with an orange head & zebra-striped sides with a bright red patch of bare skin around the eye which gives it a somewhat startled appearance. Candy-red legs distinguish it from the Slaty-legged Crake, and dainty, smaller-billed appearance distinguish it from Ruddy-breasted and Band-bellied Crakes. Generally shy and unobtrusive, it moves quietly through wet vegetation and tends to be difficult to see.
