About These Birds

Rufous-faced Crake

Rufous-faced Crake (Laterallus xenopterus) is a small 14–16 cm crake of central South America, found in Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia. Dark brown above; bright rufous face and breast with white-and-black barred flanks. Inhabits wet grasslands and marshes. Secretive and little-studied; detected primarily by call.

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.
