French: Marouette à sourcils blancs German: Gelbbrust-Sumpfhuhn Spanish: Polluela Pálida
Taxonomy:
Rallus flaviventer Boddaert, 1783, Cayenne, French Guiana.
Does not closely resemble any other Porzana crake; because of similarities in face pattern and bill structure sometimes placed, with P. cinerea, in genus Poliolimnas, a separation which may be appropriate. Five subspecies recognized.
