White-throated Crake

As we chased dragonflies in the marshes along the road in northern Costa Rica in July 2017, we heard a curious bird call. A White-throated Crake briefly appeared from the undergrowth. Crakes are small rails. This species is hard to see, but is, nevertheless, fairly common in overgrown pastures, ditches, and stream-sides (Cornell). The species ranges from Honduras south to western Ecuador.
