About These Birds

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. 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.
