Hydrornis
''Hydrornis'' is a genus of pitta in the family Pittidae. The genus contains thirteen species, found in South-east Asia. The genus was formerly merged with the genus ''Pitta'', but a 2006 study split the family into three genera. Taxonomy The pittas were at one time all usually placed in the genus ''Pitta'', the only genus in the family Pittidae, but when a 2006 molecular phylogenetic study found that the pittas formed three separate groups, the genus was split and some species were moved into two resurrected genera, ''Erythropitta'' and ''Hydrornis''. The genus ''Hydrornis'' had been introduced by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1843 with the blue-naped pitta (''Hydrornis nipalensis'') as the type species. The name ''Hydrornis'' combines the Ancient Greek words "water" and "bird". The pittas in ''Hydrornis'' have sexually dimorphic Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the sexes of the same animal and/or plant species exhibit different morphological chara ...

Pitta Oatesi Male - Mae Wong
Pittas are a family, Pittidae, of passerine birds found in Asia, Australasia and Africa. There are thought to be 40 to 42 species of pittas, all similar in general appearance and habits. The pittas are Old World suboscines, and their closest relatives among other birds are in the genera ''Smithornis '' and ''Calyptomena''. Initially placed in a single genus, as of 2009 they have been split into three genera: ''Pitta'', ''Erythropitta'' and ''Hydrornis''. Pittas are medium-sized by passerine standards, at in length, and stocky, with strong, longish legs and long feet. They have very short tails and stout, slightly decurved bills. Many have brightly coloured plumage. Most pitta species are tropical; a few species can be found in temperate climates. They are mostly found in forests, but some live in scrub and mangroves. They are highly terrestrial and mostly solitary, and usually forage on wet forest floors in areas with good ground cover. They eat earthworms, snails, insects an ...

Malayan Banded Pitta
The Malayan banded pitta (''Hydrornis irena'') is a species of bird in the family Pittidae. Other common names include the blue-tailed pitta, the Irene's pitta, the banded pitta and the Van den Bosch's pitta. It is found in Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. It was formerly considered conspecific with the Bornean and Javan banded pittas, together they were referred to as the banded pitta, but now they are considered to be separate species. Taxonomy At one time the Malayan banded pitta, the Bornean banded pitta, and the Javan banded pitta were all considered to be variants of a single species. However, they were divided into three separate species by Rheindt and Eaton in 2010, based on analysis of morphological, behavioural, and vocal differences. Description This colourful bird has a black head with a yellow/orange streak above the eye, an orange-red nape, a lemon-yellow throat, a chest barred with orange and dark blue (more orange towards the sides and more blue towa ...

Rusty-naped Pitta
The rusty-naped pitta (''Hydrornis oatesi'') is a species of bird in the family Pittidae. Taxonomy The rusty-naped pitta was described by the amateur ornithologist Allan Octavian Hume in 1873 from specimens collected in the eastern Pegu Hills, Myanmar. Hume coined the current binomial name ''Hydrornis oatesi''. The species was subsequently placed in the genus ''Pitta'' but was then moved back to the resurrected genus ''Hydrornis'' in 2006 based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study. The genus ''Hydrornis'' had been introduced by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1843. The specific epithet was chosen to honour the amateur ornithologist Eugene William Oates (1845-1911) who had collected the specimens. Four subspecies are recognised: * ''H. o. oatesi'' Hume, 1873 – from east Myanmar to northeast Laos and Thailand * ''H. o. castaneiceps'' ( Delacour & Jabouille, 1930) – southeast China to central Laos and northwest Vietnam * ''H. o. bolovenensis'' (Delacour, 1932 ...
