High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Zapata Rail (Cyanolimnas cerverai) is a 29 cm (11.4 in) long, dark-coloured rail, the only member of the monotypic genus Cyanolimnas.

It has brown upperparts, greyish-blue underparts, a red-based yellow bill, white undertail coverts, and red eyes and legs.

Its short wings render it almost flightless. It is endemic to the wetlands of the Zapata Peninsula in southern Cuba, where its only known nest was found in sawgrass tussocks.

Little is known of its diet or reproductive behaviour, and its described calls may belong to a different species.
