Legs yellowish, but with olive areas on the rear of the legs suggesting an immature bird.
Observation details
Two birds, one possibly immature based on olive areas on the rear of the legs (see comments in photos). Ideal habitat: low, dense vegetation with narrow water-filled channels. One bird appeared cautiously on the road margin, tail flicking and allowing a brief glimpse. It and a second bird made quiet contact calls to one another. One was bolder, walking in the open for very short periods, allowing some photographs.
