Immature Purple Gallinule (Porphyrula martinica)

I hope my bird id is correct...

Shot at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Delray Beach last fall.

Canon Elan 7e w/Sigma 50-500 w/Tiffen 812; Kodak Portra 400UC; 550EX w/bb. F/6.3 in Av mode; shutter unrecorded.

Frontier scan cropped from horizontal to vertical in photoshop cs; added neat image noise reduction.

Pete, I believe your ID is correct. This is a great image. I do wish the big leaf was not in the BG and it could go a little darker. Very nice shot.
