Add to a collection

Another contrast-enhanced version of a Biodiversity Heritage Library scanned image. Artist is John Gerrard Keulemans. Would appear to represent South Island Takahe Porphyrio hochstetteri, as as P. (Notornis) mantelli is known only from subfossil remains, and they were long considered conspecific (Wikipedia--Takahe).

Patrick Coin marked "Takahē--contrast enhanced" as trusted on the "Porphyrio hochstetteri" page.
