About These Birds
Speckled Rail
Speckled Rail (Coturnicops notatus) is a small 15–17 cm, poorly-known rail of South America. Olive-brown above; white-spotted breast and flanks. Found in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Inhabits wet grasslands, marsh edges, and seasonally flooded savannas. Extremely secretive; known from few specimens.
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.
