Sula Pitta (Erythropitta dohertyi)
A spectacular ground-dwelling forest bird with a plump short-tailed body, extremely long legs, a bold red belly, a broad blue chest band, a reddish top to the black head, and green upperparts. Females yellow-eyed, males dark-eyed. Singles forage on forest floor or perch in the understory, especially when calling. Restricted to lowland forest on the Banggai and Sula Islands, where it is unmistakable.
