The African finfoot (Podica senegalensis) is an aquatic bird from the family Heliornithidae (the finfoots and sungrebe). The species lives in the rivers and lakes of western, central, and southern Africa. The males are usually darker than the females. It superficially resembles South America's torrent duck. The African finfoot belongs to a family, Heliornithidae, whose only other members are the masked finfoot and the sungrebe. Their relationships between this family and other birds are poorly understood. Order: Gruiformes, Family: Heliornithidae, Genus: Podica, Species: Podica senegalensis (Vieillot, 1817).
