About These Birds
Rusty-flanked Crake
Rusty-flanked Crake (Laterallus levraudi) is a small 14–16 cm, poorly-known crake endemic to northern Venezuela and Trinidad. Dark brown above; grey breast with distinctive chestnut flanks. Inhabits freshwater marshes and wetland edges in lowland areas. Rare and secretive; few modern records.
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.
