Dusky (Gallinula tenebrosa)

It seemed ages since I'd last seen one of these, so checked back and it was just less than 2 weeks, when we were at the Gold Coast! But goodness, so much had happened and I'd seen so much since then, it was almost like seeing a new bird!! LOL

This is a Dusky Moorhen, which should be all black, so just a little puzzled as to what the grey is coming down the neck.

Did you see more than one with this paterning? It is rather strange isn't it?
