The Madagascar jacana (Actophilornis albinucha) is a species of bird in the family Jacanidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
It is not wary of human activity, [2] but it is hypothesized to be avoidant of the common moorhen. [2] It inhabits different sites within Madagascar during wet versus dry season. [2] Female Madagascar jacanas are significantly larger than males. [2]
