I'm surprised because according to HBW (https://www.hbw.com/species/guam-rail-hypotaenidia-owstoni) or San Diego Zoo website (https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/guam-rail) Guam rails are not flightless, and are able to even fly some meters, although the species in question has very reduced flight muscles and normally is reluctant to take the air (that's why they're called virtually flightless). Is this information correct or the Wikipedia article needs to be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.16.224.41 (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
