Yumi - it is a young bird - but I can't ID which one - I have added a zoomed in image so perhaps some-one else can iD what it is

Mmm I'm not 100% sure but its got chicken legs a little bit like a juvenile Dusky Moorhen, and photos online have them with a darkish pigmentation to their legs, so that's my best guess....
