The spotted rail (Pardirallus maculatus) is a distinctive medium to big rail with thickly barred and spotted black-and-white plumage.
Nonetheless, their back and wings are predominantly brown, with brilliant coral-pink legs and a big, lime-yellow beak with turquoise and red flecks at the base.
Thus, females resemble men in appearance, except they are smaller.
Juveniles are easily distinguished by their black bills and dark reddish-brown legs.
Spotted type can be found in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, the Cayman Islands.
These beautiful birds eat crustaceans, insects, small fish, and pond weed.
They occasionally forage along the water borders, probing in the mud, though this is unusual.
Spotted tails are monogamous birds that breed mostly from June to September – In low marsh vegetation, frequently over water.
They make a cup-shaped nest of grass.
Within, two to eight eggs are deposited.
Moreover, aside from that, there is little information available about these birds’ nesting habits.
This type has a wide distribution, with an estimated worldwide range of 2,300,000 km2.
Therefore, it has a huge global population, estimated at 10,000 people.
And hence does appear to be approaching the IUCN Red List population decrease limits.
