Not sure myself Daniel but it sure is a beautifully detailed image budddy!
 
The juvenile's posing beautifully for you Daniel!
I think you're right on the ID. We call then Moorhens and I've photographed a few during the summer.
 
a beautiful photo of this lovely youngster, Daniel, nicely showing those long toes, top marks, many tfs!!!
 
A well detailed portrait of this youngster, Daniel.

Yes, I think you're right Daniel; however you used the scientific name for (our) Common Moorhen LOL. I've corrected that so it goes to your species.

A fantastic picture you've got there my friend... I love that pose lad. Thanks.
