Hi Sue,
I have a photo of a couple that are pretty close to this stage at:
http://www.chirpsandcheeps.com/. It's the third row down on the left.
Click on it to enlarge - and then you can enlarge further using the icon at
the top right of the photo.
Hope that helps,
~ Sue

The natal plumage of the young Gallinules still showed their red heads and
wings. I found this video that shows both, but it's not very clear. If
anyone has some photos of them at this stage, I'd love to see them.
