Resembles Common Moorhen but smaller, with yellow bill tipped red and duller frontal shield. Secretive; skulks in dense reed beds and floating vegetation mats.

Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
