Norgrove Park Crakes

["Roger Curnow" <>]

While looking for a Spotless Crake at Norgrove Park this morning I took the attached picture.

The two birds were very close together for a couple of minutes
but eventually the Australian Crake drove what I suspect to be an immature Baillon's Crake away.

 

Question : Is this in fact one Australian & one Baillon's,

                or might the second bird be an immature Australian ?

 

The white front is for real, not a trick of the camera and the tail did seem short.

 

Higher quality images available.
