"Sharpe's rail" (traditionally Gallirallus sharpei) is the name given to a singular and enigmatic specimen, Naturalis Biodiversity Center RMNH 87485. Probably collected around 1860, the specimen seems to have arrived at the museum without any accompanying data. It has been suggested to be an aberrant individual of H. philippensis which it certainly resembles much in size, shape, and some plumage details; unpublished DNA data also indicates it belongs to this species. Consequently, it would belong in Hypotaenidia if Gallirallus is split.
