I wasn't expecting the bird to be so far away, so the photos are very heavily cropped. Nonetheless, they are identifiable (brownish gallinule with white undertail coverts, greenish/blueish wings, yellow legs). This bird is obviously a juvenile which will gradually molt into 1st alternate plumage (vibrant greens,blues, yellows, and purples) throughout the winter.
