Like the community answer, it is correct that moorhen is the name of the species and not the gender. Within moorhens, there are cocks and hens like with other bird species, but moorhen is the name of the species itself.So the male here would be called a moorhen cock (or cockerel).

A moorhen is a black bird with a bright red bill with yellow on the end. A coot is also black but instead of a red beak has a white one, with a white patch above it. In general, coots tends to be larger and fatter than moorhens. So, check the beak, that will tell you what bird it is!
