Sulawesi Pitta
Erythropitta celebensis
A round-bodied, short-tailed, long-legged terrestrial bird with a red belly. Broad, iridescent blue chest band is bordered with thick black lines. Reddish-brown crown shows an indistinct blue line. Also shows paler brown cheeks and green upperparts. Juvenile is brown with a pale bill base and gray eyes. Singles or pairs forage on forest floor in lowlands and foothills. Unmistakable in limited range on Sulawesi and adjacent islands. Song is a drawn-out, two-part whistle with a longer, trembling first note followed by a falling, mournful note: “waaaaaaaop-wooowow,” as is typical of the genus.
分类信息
The Sulawesi pitta was formally described in 1845 by the German naturalists Salomon Müller and Hermann Schlegel based on a specimen collected by the Dutch narualist Eltio Alegondas Forsten near Tondano on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. They placed the species in the genus Pitta and coined the binomial name Pitta celebensis, where the specific epithet is a former name for Sulawesi. The Sulawesi pitta is now placed in the genus Erythropitta that was introduced in 1854 by Charles Lucien Bonaparte.<p>Three subspecies are recognised:

Banded Quail
Philortyx fasciatus
Very small quail of open brushy woodland and weedy fields in dry regions; endemic to interior southwest Mexico. No other quail in most of its range and habitat. Occurs in coveys for much of year, usually of 5–15 birds, which often feed along quiet roadsides early and late in the day. Flushes explosively with shrieking chatter when disturbed. Sexes look alike, with dark crest spike and boldly barred belly.
Abbott's Babbler
Malacocincla abbotti
Plain, sandy-brown babbler with distinct orange-tan tones to the sides. Note grayish tones to the face and the large heavy bill with a hooked tip. Prefers degraded and secondary forest, where it forages quite slowly and methodically on or near the ground, without the frenetic energy of some other babblers. Moves singly or in pairs. Call repertoire is wide, and includes harsh churrs as well as smooth whistles. Song consists of melodic whistles, usually 3-4 notes.
Dinelli's Doradito
Pseudocolopteryx dinelliana
Small yellowish flycatcher of marshlands in central and northern Argentina, moving north during the nonbreeding season. Similar to Subtropical, Warbling, and Ticking Doraditos, from which it is most easily identified by voice, but note brownish cap and brownish (as opposed to olive or gray) auriculars.
