Blue-winged Pitta

Blue-winged Pitta adults, with males and females alike in plumage, combine a green back, vivid blue wings, and warm buff underparts in a compact, short-tailed form. The wings carry blue coverts and a conspicuous white flight-feather patch; the back is unmarked, while the buff breast gives way to scarlet lower-belly and undertail feathers. A broad buff eyebrow, bordered by black crown and facial feathers, forms a defining head marking above the whitish throat.
