Observation details
Continuing in western Cell 3 near the central channel and observation deck. Large chunky rail, deep bluish purple overall, stout reddish bill with red forehead shield. Notably larger than purple gallinule and had duller plumage with no greenish or light blue hues. It made a couple of low and short flights between cattail patches and may have landed near a second individual because immediately after landing some loud calling ensued. The bird(s) were fairly close to the trail so I was able to get some audio despite the windy conditions.
