Meet Songzia, a corn crake from the Early Eocene
Songzia heidangkouensis (LianHai 1990, Wang et al. 2012; Early Eocene) was considered a gruiform (Grus or crane relative). Here nests with another traditional gruiform, the nearly identical, but larger Crex, the corn crake.
The birds within the LRT
are getting a thorough housekeeping with every new taxon.
