About These Birds

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.

Spot-flanked Gallinule

Spot-flanked Gallinule (Porphyriops melanops) is a small 22–25 cm rail of southern South America's marshes and reed-beds. Dark olive-brown above with white-spotted flanks, grey face, and short red-tipped yellow bill. Frequents still or slow-moving freshwater wetlands in Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil, and Chile.
