Samoan woodhen

The Samoan woodhen (''Gallinula pacifica''), also known as Samoan wood rail, is a nearly flightless rail endemic to the Samoan island of Savai'i, and probably extinct. As it has evolved adaptations for a more terrestrial lifestyle and at least partly nocturnal habits, it is probably better placed in a distinct genus, ''Pareudiastes'' (which sometimes includes the more distinct Makira wood rail too〔), but this issue has not yet been thoroughly researched. It was known as ''puna'e'' ("one that jumps up") to the native Samoans; this was said to relate to the bird's habit of making a jumping dash into cover when startled from its resting place.
==Description==

This small gallinule had a length of about 25 cm. The plumage was darkish blue on head, neck and breast contrasted with an entirely black rump and tail. The upperparts were dark olivaceous with a greenish sheen. The bill and the frontal shield were yellowish to orange red. The eyes and the legs were red.
