Similar to related bush-hens; brown above, paler below; characterized by a notably large bill. Inhabits forest-edge wetlands and dense scrub on small islands. Near Threatened due to small range and ongoing deforestation.

Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery.
