About These Birds
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.
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.
