Aramidopsis plateni (Snoring Rail)

Wikipedia Abstract

The snoring rail (Aramidopsis plateni) also known as the Celebes rail or Platen's rail is a large flightless rail, the only member of the genus Aramidopsis. It is an Indonesian endemic found in dense vegetation in wet areas of Sulawesi and nearby Buton. The rail has grey underparts, a white chin, brown wings and a rufous patch on the hindneck. The sexes are similar, but the female has a brighter neck patch and a differently coloured bill and iris. The typical call is the snoring ee-orrrr sound that gives the bird its English name.
