User's notes
saw this bird a few times on a visit, from the boardwalk we saw it fly into the tall grass and disappear, then about 10 minutes later perched in a tree. Then about 45 minutes later perched again in a different spot near Snipe hide. At least we think it is all the same bird.

ID based on thinner legs, longer middle toe and squarer tail shape. I wonder if this bird is moulting; the lines around the eye are interesting.
