About These Birds

White-breasted Waterhen

White-breasted Waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus) is a bold 28–33 cm rail of South and South-East Asia. Slaty-black above; white face and breast; chestnut vent; red base to yellow bill. Common across India, South-East Asia, and China in marshes, rice paddies, ditches, and waterways. Often forages in open, even in towns.

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.
