All-black plumage with a conspicuous bright red frontal shield and white bill. Inhabits large open freshwater lakes with reed margins. Feeds on aquatic vegetation by diving and dabbling. Locally common.

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.
