Philippine Frogmouth Batrachostomus septimus

A medium-sized night bird of lowland and montane forest; the only frogmouth in its range. Rufous and gray-brown color morphs occur, as well as intermediates. Plumage is darker in the wing, with irregular barring on the wings and tail and fine barring on the belly. Note the broken white chest band and white spots on the wing. Female is similar to male but has a narrower white collar at the back. Very well camouflaged; looks like a broken branch during the day. Voice consists of a variety of raspy calls, including a downslurred “gow!”
