    Hi @lauraklynn -
    It's tough to tell since we don't get a very good look at it. 😦 Maybe we'll find another video where we can see it more clearly...

    I think it might be a moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) There's a glimpse of red beak and some white flashes (under the tail?) behaviour is fairly typical. Amazing to see, if that's what it is; a familiar bird here in Scotland sharing the rainforest with monkeys etc 😄
