Red-bellied (Sahul) Pitta

We had the chance of seeing three species of Pitta on this trip with all proving extremely difficult to see due to the time of year, apparently they are much easier during August and September.  The Red-bellied (Sulawesi) Pitta we only heard, the Ivory-breasted Pitta only gave two brief views so no photos and this one Red-bellied (Moluccan) Pitta eventually gave up hiding and showed well.  The taxonomy of these Red bellied's is quite complex with recent studies splitting them into 16 different species making the Sulawesi birds a different species to the one on Halmahera where this was photographed.
