The Spotted Crake is similar in size to a Starling. Breeding adults have a brown back with dark streaks, a blue-grey face and an olive-brown breast - all covered with white flecks and spots. The under tail is a warm buff colour. Spotted Crakes tend to skulk in thick cover and walk with their body close to the ground, tail flicking. They swim with a jerky action like that of the Moorhen. If surprised in the open, they run for cover or jump up and flutter away with legs dangling.
