A small, wet bird with dark brown and ruffled feathers, a white face, and a reddish mark near its eye stands on the concrete edge of a blue-tiled pool. Its long, slender toes are spread on the surface. In the background, lush green foliage, including large leaves and tall grass-like plants, creates a natural setting. The bird shakes its body, attempting to dry its feathers, and briefly looks towards the camera before continuing to preen. The scene takes place outdoors during the daytime in what appears to be a tropical environment.
