New Guinea Flightless Rail
New Guinea Flightless Rail (Megacrex inepta) is a large 38–45 cm flightless rail endemic to lowland New Guinea. Dark brown; robust legs; greatly reduced wings. Inhabits dense forest floor, often near swampy areas and stream margins in lowland rainforest. Poorly known; rarely observed despite relatively large size.

Deep blue-purple with greenish back, massive red bill and frontal shield, and red legs. Inhabits papyrus swamps, lake shores, and dense reed beds. Similar to Purple Swamphen but restricted to Africa.
