Hawaiian Rail
Hawaiian Rail (Zapornia sandwichensis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to the Island of Hawai'i. Known from a single 19th-century specimen and subfossil bones. Dark brown plumage with greatly reduced wings. Extirpated by the late 1800s due to introduced predators and habitat loss.
