The Spotted Rail pictured here is one of the most widespread of New World Rails, found from Mexico south to Argentina as well as the Caribbean, yet it is seldom seen and next to nothing is known about its ecology. Its closest relatives, also in the genus Pardirallus, are Blackish Rail and Plumbeous Rail. Plumbeous in particular is a bold and easy-to-see rail, often feeding on mudflats and open areas - quite un-rail-like behavior. More

Spotted Rail differs from other rails’ species in conspicuously streaked plumage and long bill. Adults of both sexes are similar, with female slightly smaller than male. Spotted Rail occurs in three morphs, dark, pale and barred. Bird in dark morph has dark brown upperparts and dark-tipped underparts feathers with no white bars. Bird in pale morph has pale greyish brown throat and breast, the latter weakly barred white. Bird in barred morph has grey, spotted white throat. More
