Mascarene Coot
Mascarene Coot (Fulica newtonii) is an extinct giant coot formerly inhabiting Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Larger than Eurasian Coot; likely flightless or near-flightless. Extirpated by hunting and introduced predators in the 17th–18th centuries. Known from subfossil remains and written accounts by early European visitors.

Black-tailed Crake (Zapornia bicolor) is a small 19–22 cm crake of the eastern Himalayas and South-East Asia hill forests. Dark olive-brown above; chestnut below; greenish bill; red eye and legs. Inhabits wet hill-forest clearings, rice terraces, and mountain marsh edges from Nepal east to southern China and Indochina.
