Please can you replicate red marked text in the other way??? What is the synonym of the phrase "figured it was"??

No "I figured", just "figured it was"....This is why I am little confused...

--------------------------

Trust me i know it was shot in the dark but figured it was worth a
try...the bus in the background seems to be from a company in costa
rica.

thx for help.

First let me correct your sentence:

Trust me; I know it was shot in the dark but figured it was worth a try. The bus in the background seems to be from a company in Costa Rica.

You could say "but gauged", "but estimated", "but calculated". I think the most natural-sounding synonym would be "but reckoned".
