Red-and-white Crake

Red-and-white Crake (Laterallus leucopyrrhus) is a small 15–17 cm crake of south-eastern South America. Bright chestnut-red above; white below with black-and-white barred flanks. Inhabits dense grassy marshes, reed beds, and wet grasslands in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Skulks in dense cover; detected by sharp calls.
