Gallinula galeata
•Dark, with white flank stripe. •Red bill and forehead.
Freshwater or brackish marshes with tall emergent vegetation, ponds, canals, and rice fields
The Common Gallinule has long toes that makes it possible to walk on soft mud and floating vegetation. The toes have no lobes or webbing to help in swimming, but the moorhen is a good swimmer anyway.
