Hi Hannah, we really need a photo of the bird to confirm the ID.

A photo would be ideal but they are know from the area, and I've seen them cross the path here on several occasions

Thanks! Will hang around and see if I can photograph it …. Was in such a hurry scurrying across the bike path. I’ve never seen one there before.
