Observation details
Accidentally flushed from the salt marsh. Flew into sandy dune area and "hid" under a few goldenrods. Realized this was not a good idea and worked its way from shrub to shrub back to the marsh, alternately running and flying. A tiny rail with short brownish yellow legs, stubby yellow bill. Golden buff face and breast. Back longitudinally striped gold and brown. The brown feathers were narrowly white tipped, giving an overall effect of cross hatching with fine white lines. Flanks black, finely barred white. Underwing mostly white. In flight a bit of white showing above at the shoulder, and secondaries extensively white tipped, but NOT forming a broad white patch. From some flight angles it was hard to see the white.
