Yes, Caribbean coot is most likely, the following link applies: http://www.geocities.com/secaribbirds/idamericancaribbeancoot.html The pictures are not very good, so I don’t carry this link on my website.

The Caribbean Coot (Fulica caribaea) is a large waterbird of the family Rallidae, which is a resident breeder in the Caribbean and parts of Venezuela. Several alleged sightings have occurred in North America, but these cannot be authenticated since some American Coots (Fulica americana) lack red knobs on the frontal shield of the bill. The Caribbean Coot has sometimes been treated as a subspecies of the latter species. More

You see caribbean coot sits at number 33 on my list and I've seen a lot of coots here - including some really big numbers of birds during the bird counts. Unfortunately, without exception til now, they had been seen from a huge distance through the scope. I'd always assumed the birds I'd seen were Caribbean coot as I hadn't been able to make out the telltale red head marking so had assumed the telltale red marking wasn't there and they must be Caribbean coots.

Caribbean Coots can dive for food but can also forage on land. They are omnivores, eating plant material, insects, fish, and other aquatic animals. Their call is a high-pitched squeaking honk somewhat like a goose, similar to American Coot. More
