Rainbow Pitta (Pitta iris iris) - 20221004-03

            Small black and green pitta with red undertail coverts and gleaming blue shoulder. Primarily green upperparts, with underparts mostly black head and underparts. Usually found feeding on the ground in rainforest patches with lots of leaf litter but has also been found in a wide variety of other habitats. During breeding season it can be quite vocal, particularly males. This is the only pitta resident in the Top End of the Northern Territory and in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.  (eBird)
-------------------
One of our key targets for this location was this pitta.  He stayed and sang for us for a long time, which apparently is unusual.  To make up for the length of the stay, he picked a particularly difficult place to get a photo.
