Hooded Pitta

Hooded Pitta adult males have predominantly green upperparts and breasts, contrasting with a red lower belly and undertail coverts. The wings combine dark flight feathers, bright blue shoulder patches, and conspicuous white patches in the primaries; the back and breast are largely unpatterned, and the tail is short and dark. A black feathered hood covers the face and throat, contrasting with the chestnut-brown crown.
