I like the colour of its legs and the matching background.  
 
Thanks for sharing.

Have you seen any food begging or feeding of this bird by adults?  
 
In my opinion, the plumage colour is sharp and it does not look like a juvenile. (Maybe I am wrong and the light condition deceives me).
 
Could it be an adult moulting from breeding to non-breeding plumage?

Captain,
 
  I think it is a juvenile. It was not so familiar with flying.
  It made several jumps with climbing and flying from  
  the  ground to the top of the tree.
