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:

Peruvian Recurvebill
Syndactyla ucayalae
Reddish-brown bird with a distinctive upturned bill. Found almost exclusively in bamboo thickets, but occasionally also in dense viny areas. Forages singly or in pairs in the under- and midstory, using its bill to pry open holes in dead bamboo to find insects. Its song is a deep accelerating rattle “tick-ti-tr-trrrrrrrrrrrrr” that crescendos.
Stock Dove
Columba oenas
Medium-size, overall gray pigeon with pinkish breast and an indistinct black bar on the closed wing. In flight, the pale gray wing panel contrasts sharply with the black wingtip and broad trailing edge. Underwing gray, also with a broad black trailing edge (underwing is usually white on wild Rock Pigeon and feral pigeons). Found in open woodland, farmland with hedges and scattered trees. Rather shy and mostly seen in flight. Feeds mainly on the ground, in pairs or small groups that associate readily with wood-pigeons. Gives a series of low, rather hoarse coos.
Red-chested Buttonquail
Turnix pyrrhothorax
Small, dark, secretive buttonquail with pale eye, found in dense grassland habitats, where most commonly observed exploding from cover and flying rapidly away. In flight, note the fairly uniformly dark upperparts, with less contrast between flight feathers and coverts than in most other buttonquail. Adult female has rich rusty-orange chest; male paler, with white chin. Call is a repeated "oom-oom-oom-oom," with end of each note ascending in pitch.
