Nightjar, Iguazu, Argentina (1 Viewer)

I saw this nightjar off the trail between the 1st and 2nd rail station at Iguazu Falls National Park in Argentina on November 2, 2008. It was shortly after a heavy rain and the bird was drenched, making it hard to ID. I have concluded that it is probably a rufous morph female Pauraque, but I am far from certain. I'd appreciate some input from anyone with more expertise than me. There wasn't great light, so the picture is not the best. Any thoughts?
