Observation details
A little smaller than a moorhen. Heard it call first, then it emerged from the reeds. Orange beak, reddish eye, brown darkly streaked on top, front slate gray. I do not think it was a brown-cheeked rail because the cheek was uniformly gray, unlike the other rail I had seen just minutes before. Not in the park itself, but on the east bank of the outer moat, across from the east side of the park. Apparently this is the first record in Suzhou in nine years, so a rare sighting indeed.
