Identification
Small and unique gem-like pitta of Borneo’s lowland dipterocarp forests—both pristine and logged. Male’s glowing electric-blue crown is eye-catching even in the gloom of the forest floor; also note dark blue underparts, bright white throat, and cinnamon-brown back. Female has a warm cinnamon head and paler brown underparts. Both sexes have dark wings marked with a white streak. Song is a mellow “puh-yih’wooooo!”.
