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 male Moorhen is the same - a moorhen. The hen in this is not seen as the gender of the animal. Both male and female are called Moorhen.
