Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) is a tiny 15–18 cm, secretive North American rail. Yellowish-brown with dark streaking; white wing patches visible in flight. Breeds in wet sedge meadows and fens across Canada and northern USA; winters in coastal marshes of the Gulf Coast. Detected by its distinctive ticking call.

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.
