Sylviornis neocaledoniae

Sylviornis is an extinct genus of galliform bird containing a single species,
S. neocaledoniae, the Sylviornis or erroneously, "New Caledonian Giant
Megapode". Technically, the latter is incorrect because it has recently been
found not to be a megapode, but the sole known member of its own family, the
Sylviornithidae; at the time of its description, it was believed to be a
ratite. The Sylviornis was never encountered alive by scientists, but it is
known from many thousands of subfossil bones found in deposits, some of them
from the Holocene, on New Caledonia and the adjacent Île des Pins.
