Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove (1/13)

COLUMBIFORMES: Columbidae

Ptilinopus regina  

These birds are so colourful that you would expect them to stand out in the forest yet they vanish in the leaves and are frustratingly difficult to find.

I looked for this bird for 15 minutes without success even though it was calling loudly. Suddenly it jumped out onto this branch and checked me out.
