This is after a record hint showed up on my ancestors, and when I reviewed to attach, it returns an error.

The hint appears to be a birth record for a daughter born in the mid-20th century. When viewing the record directly, not through the source linker, the message indicates that it cannot be shown. It is a recent vital record and is likely closed for the privacy of the living.
If we cannot see the source record to evaluate it, we should not be able to attach it.

Thank you for looking into this. I understand the record may be closed for privacy reasons if it pertains to a living individual. However, the hint itself seems inaccurate based on the information I have. My ancestor, Sebastian Bueno, died in 1950. He couldn't have fathered a child in the mid-20th century. His youngest documented child, Maria, was born around 1949. Is it possible the hint is mis-linked, perhaps belonging to another Sebastian Bueno, or referencing a different event altogether? Could you please double-check the source information related to that hint?

A hint can be for anyone of the same or similar name. There's no guarantee that a hint is for your person of interest.
However, all 3 names are the same, and the dates are the same. 1949 is the mid-20th century.
I'm another user of the FamilySearch website. I can't see anything more than you can see.

How did you found out that it is a birth record for a daughter born in the mid-20th century? I understand that hints can be for anyone with the same or similar name, and I appreciate you taking the time to look into this. However, in this case, I strongly believe the hint is genuinely incorrect, not just for a different person. While the names match, and 1949 is indeed in the mid-20th century, the problem is that the hint implies a birth after 1950, which is after Sebastian's death. A birth in 1949 wouldn't be the issue.
The family portrait, a painted one from that time period, shows Sebastian, his wife, his father, and all seven of their children. It's a formal portrait, intended to capture the entire immediate family. There's no indication of any other children, and family accounts confirm that Maria, born around 1949, was the youngest. If there were another child born later, they would not be in the portrait, and the family would likely be aware of them.
Is it possible to see any other details about the hinted record, even if the actual document is private?
Sebastian Bueno is my great-grandfather, and his son, Eugenio Bueno Sr., is my grandfather. My information comes directly from family members, including my grandmother (Eugenio Sr.'s wife) and my aunt (Eugenio Sr.'s daughter), as well as a family portrait and the family group sheet I compiled based on these sources.

I don't see anything that says it's after 1950. Since Sebastian died in May 1950, according to his profile, his youngest child could have been born as late as early 1951.
I based mid-20th century on the information you have in the profile. There are 2 daughters Maria born 1949, and the hint is for a daughter Maria. No dates are visible in what I can see. As I said, all 3 names are a match.
By the way, you probably want to merge those 2 daughters named Maria, both born 1949.

Thanks for your reply! You raise a good point about the timing of Sebastian's death in May 1950 and the possibility of a child born later. However, merging the two Maria profiles is definitely not the right approach. They are distinct individuals—twins—as confirmed by both a family portrait (included here) and information from my aunt.
The portrait clearly shows all of Sebastian and Librada's children at the time the photo was taken. The twins are pictured with their older siblings, meaning they were both born before Sebastian’s death. This aligns with the 1949 birth year estimate.
While I don't yet have definitive birth or death certificates for the twins, my aunt recalls that Maria Lourdes died young (around 18), while Maria lived a much longer life. This means the record hint for "Maria Bueno" almost certainly refers to Maria, not Maria Lourdes. The limited access to the record due to privacy restrictions makes direct confirmation difficult, but the other evidence strongly supports this conclusion.
I'm continuing to search for official records for both twins to solidify the dates and details of their lives. Thanks again for your input!
