It is a Gray-cowled Wood-Rail, Aramides cajaneus

BUT, my wife, who has been to Costa Rica, is saying that this species has been split by some authorities into two species, so which one it is depends on where in Costa Rica the photo was taken. So, maybe someone with access other books than what we have can weigh in. The species seem to be Russet-naped and Gray-cowled. The former is more northern, while the latter is found elsewhere.
