About These Birds
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.
Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.
