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.

Dark olive-brown above with white spots; blue-grey face and underparts; barred flanks. Inhabits freshwater swamps with dense emergent vegetation. Secretive; detected by sharp call notes.
