Latin name: Pitta moluccensis (Müller, 1776).
The Pittidae is a relatively uniform family of medium-sized insectivorous terrestrial birds that is largely confined to the tropical and subtropical forests of Asia, Australia
and intervening islands, with a few outlying species occuring on islands to the east of New Guinea and on mainland Africa. At the present time, all 32 species are in the genus
Pitta. They are mostly brilliantly coloured and rather thrush-like in their behaviour.
