Rusty-naped Pitta

 Passeriformes - Picidae - Hydrornis oatesi (Burung Pacat Tepus)

Relatively dull for a pitta, but subtly attractive nonetheless. Algae green above and dirt brown below, with a soft orange nape and a thin black line behind the eye. Female is duller than the male. Like other pittas, shy and difficult to see, hopping about and foraging on the ground, typically under thick cover. This species prefers deep and densely wooded ravines and gorges, from which its repeated explosive “chom-WIT!” can occasionally be heard.

Western Hooded Pitta

 Passeriformes - Pittidae - Pitta Sordida (

Widespread and beautiful, this jewel of a bird bounces about on the shaded forest floor like a luminous ball, where it can be surprisingly difficult to spot. If seen, note emerald-green body, black head, ruby-red lower belly, and powder-blue wing patch. Birds from the Himalayas east to much of mainland Southeast Asia have a warm brown crown stripe; these birds are migratory, and may turn up in unexpected places, such as city parks. Listen for loud, barking song in a range of wooded habitats, from deep forest to plantations. Formerly grouped together with several other closely related species as “Hooded Pitta.
