It's a fancy breed of domestic Pigeon, one of the "Owl " breeds which have a
very short bill.

 

Cheers Jeff.

Hey birders, 

any help here? 

http://www.ozarkwild.org/forID.php

The bird is in Melbourne. A much clever person than me suggested a
Black-tailed Waterhen  but we are stumped by the white feathers in the wing.
My bet is a leucistic juvenile Moorhen but I am willing to accept that's
very unlikely. 

The bird is not banded and does not have a leg injury (so stand down
people). 

thanks
