Taxonomy and etymologyThis bird derives its name from its bright red beak.[2] DescriptionThis crake is small, measuring {{convert|18|to|20|cm|in}} on average.[2] DistributionThe paint-billed crake is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. There is one record of the bird in the United States. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, swamps, and pastureland. BehaviourThis bird is nocturnal, active primarily during the night.[2] BreedingThis bird builds its nest on the ground, under the protection of vegetation in grassy fields.[2] The paint-billed crake is a territorial bird.[2] This crake lays a clutch of three to seven eggs that are coloured creamy buff and have large, reddish blotches near the blunt end of the egg. This egg is incubated for a period of 24 days, with the parent sitting on the nest, thus camouflaging the nest.[2] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22692760 |title=Neocrex erythrops |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|last=Hauber|first=Mark E.|title=The Book of Eggs: A Life-Size Guide to the Eggs of Six Hundred of the World's Bird Species|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=evQvBAAAQBAJ|date=1 August 2014|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|isbn=978-0-226-05781-1|page=59}} External links
