The white-breasted waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus) is a waterbird of the rail and crake family, Rallidae. They are dark slaty birds with a clean white face, breast and belly.

They are somewhat bolder than most other rails and are often seen stepping slowly with their tail cocked upright in open marshes or even drains near busy roads. They have long toes, a short tail and a yellow bill and legs. More... indianbirds.thedynamicnature.com/2016/10/white-breasted-waterhen-Amaurornis-phoenicurus.html
