About These Birds

White Swamphen

White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.

Red-legged Crake (Rallina fasciata) is a 22–25 cm crake of South-East Asian lowland forests. Chestnut head; olive-brown back; white-barred underparts; bright red legs. Inhabits dense forest floor near streams, mangroves, and lowland swamp forest from Myanmar and Thailand east to the Philippines and Borneo. Partially migratory.
