Sharpe's rail

Sharpe's rail (Gallirallus sharpei) is a species of bird in the family Rallidae.

Due to the lack of recent records, it has been considered extinct, but new evidence suggests it is possibly better regarded as a morph of the buff-banded rail.

[1] The common name and Latin binomial name commemorate the British zoologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe.
