Coenocorypha neocaledonica

An extinct snipe from New Caledonia, Coenocorypha neocaledonica extends the known range of the endemic New Zealand snipe genus into the Pacific island chain. A carnivorous probing wader, its occurrence in New Caledonia confirms that Coenocorypha species once inhabited multiple Pacific islands before human colonisation triggered widespread extinctions of island bird faunas.
