Grey-breasted Crake (Laterallus exilis) is a small 14–15 cm crake of Central and South America, from Nicaragua to Brazil. Dark brown above; pale grey breast; rufous face; black-and-white barred flanks. Inhabits marshes, wet grassland, and flooded rice fields at low elevations. Secretive; detected by sharp calls. Feeds on invertebrates and seeds.

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.
