It was suggested that this was a Banded rail. I'm no expert, but there was no distinctive line or colour change around the head as seen in the banded?

Hi @Jolanda, that suggestion was made by the systems AI moderator. It’s still learning and often makes incorrect suggestions, which is what has happened here as there are not enough sightings of Lewins Rails for it to be able to differentiate between them and buff bands.
