Observation details

Photo added in light of recent AOU wood-rail split, which does not make it clear which (sub)species is expected in NW Costa Rica. The bright rufous color on the nape suggests that this individual is morphologically more similar to the birds further north in Central America, rather than the birds further south, in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica and into South America. That would make it A. albiventris after the AOU split.
