EBird describes the bird as "A small bird. Dark brown above with a rufous tail, a white belly, a pale gray chest, and a buffy face and throat. Forages low down or on the ground and may sit motionless for periods of time. Similar to female Little slaty flycatcher, but has a rufous tail, a brown throat, and black rather than orange legs.

Buff-spotted Flufftail
Sarothrura elegans
Small rail of forest understory. Extremely shy and elusive bird that is unlikely to be seen unless expressly looking for it. Male has a rufous hood and black back with buff spots. Female plain and brown. Both sexes have a barred tail. Found in the understory of thick forest and adjacent scrub and gardens. Restricted to montane forest over large portions of its range. Call is a long, hollow hoot. Most other flufftails are not found in forest. Separated from White-spotted Flufftail by the buff spots of the male and the plainer appearance of the female.
Chinese Crested Tern
Thalasseus bernsteini
Critically endangered tern, long thought to breed solely on a few islands off the coast of China's Fujian province but recently noted breeding on islets off South Korea as well. Similar to Great Crested Tern (among which it nests) but smaller and paler, with darker outer primaries and dark cap that extends to the base of the orange-tipped bill. Much larger Great Crested has yellowish-green bill and white at bill base. Voice similar to Great Crested but higher in pitch.
Blue-footed Booby
Sula nebouxii
Large seabird of inshore waters, often seen from beaches but not usually up close. Adult has streaky brown-and-white neck and bright blue feet. Immature has dusky brownish head and neck and grayish feet. All plumages told from Brown Booby by white at the base and tip of the tail. Typically flies and soars fairly high up. Feeds by spectacular, steep-angle plunge-dives. Breeds locally in colonies on offshore islands, nesting on the ground. Most well-known from the Galapagos but occurs extensively along the Pacific coast of Middle and South America, especially in the Gulf of California.
