About These Birds
Rodrigues Rail
Rodrigues Rail (Erythromachus leguati) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean. Known from a 1691 account and subfossil bones; reddish plumage, long legs, reduced wings. Related to Mauritius Red Rail. Extirpated by introduced cats and rats, and direct hunting by settlers, by the early 18th century.
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.
