Summary description from Wikipedia:
Lesser jacana
The lesser jacana (Microparra capensis) is a wader in the family Jacanidae and can be found in Africa. It can be recognized by its long legs and claws that allow it to walk on aquatic vegetation – although it is not to be confused with the larger African Jacana. The lesser jacana is insectivorous. Its conservation status is of least concern.
The name jacana is derived from a Tupi name of the bird, ñaha'nã.
