Erythropitta erythrogaster, also known as the Red-bellied Pitta, is a small, brightly colored bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The Red-bellied Pitta has a distinctive bright red belly, with green and blue plumage on its back and wings. The head is black with a white stripe above the eye, and the bill is black and slightly curved.
The Red-bellied Pitta is known for its beautiful and distinctive call, which is a series of loud, clear whistles. It is often found on the forest floor, where it feeds on insects, spiders, and small invertebrates.
Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the Red-bellied Pitta is considered to be a vulnerable species. Its conservation status is currently listed as “Near Threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
