I Know Nothing About Birds on the Caymans
Awkward on land and the posted image indicates a grebe, if not a Pied-billed Grebe, something closely related.
Grebe
I think David has it.
All About Birds shows Pied-billed Grebes in the Caribbean year-round, and notes that "other grebes lack black band on bill."
Wikipedia only lists two grebes for the Caymans: the pied-billed and the least grebe.

Crop?
Welcome to the site!
Can you crop the image to show only the bird? Then Edit the image and replace the existing file with the cropped one? I think that will help us get an ID.
Also, I added the Caymans to the locations list if you want to modify that setting as well.
Thanks!
