blue-rumped pitta Hydrornis soror

Shy, earthen-toned groundbird with a rotund, barrel-chested appearance. Both sexes are brown overall with a mossy green back and electric powder-blue nape; the female is much duller than the male, with less extensive blue and green on the upperparts. Face is warm gray-brown--paler than the dirt-brown underparts. Otherwise similar Blue-naped Pitta has no blue on the crown, no blue rump, and a browner face without gray tones. Song is a simple, barbet-like series of widely-spaced “choo” notes.
