Yesterday afternoon as I was approaching the far platform at Kenilworth AG, I heard something very rail-like calling sporadically from the phrag just south of the platform.
The call was similar to, but not quite, the female Clapper Rail's "purr" call, and was similar to a Virginia Rail's "kicker call".
The former can be heard here:

The latter can be head at the start of this recording

It seems that either one of these species is unlikely at this location, so I will gladly take suggestions as to what else it could be.
I went back this morning and waited in the same spot for some time, but did not hear the bird again.
