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.

White Swamphen

White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
