The slaty-breasted rail (Lewinia striata) is a rail species native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.[1] Breeding has been recorded in July near Dehradun in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas.[2] Despite traditionally being considered part of Gallirallus, recent genetic studies have consistently placed it in the genus Lewinia,[3][4] which is now formally recognised by the IUCN and IOC.[1]
