a close up of the bird on the left in the photo above shows yellow/red bill and extensive white undertail coverts

  
A sharper image of upturned tail, white undertail coverts and wing projection that was observed during time of observation. The head shape on this one is strange and does not resemble what we saw in the field or other photos.

  
last two images are stills taken from a video. They show the difference in color between the Gallinule and AMCOs better than the photos we took. the photos tend to appear darker than actual. The video images more closely resemble the color we saw in the field. see also size difference, bill shape and bill to head ratio.
