Shame on me, I took this shot in a zoo, but I couldn't get the species (the bird was in a squirrel monkey housing). Can anybody help with ID-ing it? Just browsing the internet for bird with big feet and red face didn't help...

| Usually birds with feet that big are some sort of water fowl. Their long feet enable them to walk over water lillys and the like. I would try looking in the water fowl section first. |

well his name tag says his name is 25...I googled like crazy for birds of hungary and budapest (even the zoo site) but saw nothing like this. It is most likly a marsh type bird because of it's long unwebbed toes. Good luck.

Thanks a lot for the help! It is definitely this bird (also its habitat is topographycally overlapping with those monkeys-->they were black lion tamarins, not squirrel monkeys, but both live in the same Central/South American forests). |
