Dot-winged Crake

Laterallus spiloptera (Durnford, H 1877)

The dot-winged crake is a species of bird in the family Rallidae. Despite its morphological similarities, the assignment to the genus Porzana is not correct. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA placed it in the predominantly South American clade Laterallus, and further analyses revealed that it is the sister species of the world's smallest flightless bird, the Inaccessible Island rail. Stervander et al. (2019) proposed that the dot-winged crake should be referred to as Laterallus spilopterus. Source: Wikipedia
