Mystery!

Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? The photo is poor, but it has GIANT feet, and its legs have a greenish tint. It lives in Waverly Lake here in Albany, Oregon. It really is kind of homely, living side by side as it does with our big grey geese.

I posted the picture on one of my message boards and it appears your bird is an immature coot. Googling it brings up pictures of very similar birds that are just a bit darker.
