Buff-banded Rail
Hypotaenidia philippensis goodsoni
Dave Parker's Ecolodge, Upolu Island, Samoa - 28 oktober 2018
A Buff-banded Rail drying its wings after the rain. I have never seen as many rails, of any kind, running about along roadsides as on Samoa. One can easily see a hundred in a day! Former scientific name Gallirallus philippensis.
