Small bird, HUGE feet.

A sub-adult Comb-crested Jacana I spotted this morning at work. Its comb is now almost fully formed so it's pretty close to adulthood.

It has a white body with brown wings, black shoulder stripe, a little buff on the sides of the neck, dark brown cap, but a red comb and shield on its face. The legs are pale yellow and the feet are about as wide as the body is long.
