Philippine Pitta

PHILIPPINE PITTA
Pitta erythrogaster
Pittidae Family

Bird #170 - May 2009

Length 165mm (6 1/2" inches)
resident, fairly common

This is called Red-bellied Pitta in the Kennedy guide. It is now a near-endemic and called Philippine Pitta.

Our first views of this bird were in Palawan, propinqua in the mangroves of Sabang, then we got our first picture in Mt. Makiling of erythrogaster.

Then we saw it again in Batangas, La Mesa, and Quezon City in UP Diliman.

Our latest sighting was in Alabang from our bedroom window. We did not really believe the stories that there were Pittas in Alabang a long time ago. But there was the proof right outside our window.

Unmistakable bird,  a very bright red belly,  brown head, blue on the wing.
