The rusty-flanked crake (Laterallus levraudi) is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Rallinae of family Rallidae, the rails, gallinules, and coots.

[5] The rusty-flanked crake is found only in Venezuela north of the Orinoco River, mostly coastally and somewhat inland along the western flank of the Andes.

It inhabits a variety of wet lowland landscapes including swamps, marshes, lagoons, lakeshores, and flooded pastures.

Degradation and destruction of its habitat by industrial waste, tourist development, agriculture, and dam expansion are the principal threats.

[1] It appears to be locally common and "conversion of largely-forested regions to pastureland with water-bodies may favour this crake.
