Yup 八色鸟. Posted a couple of pics in a couple of Taiwanese birding sites, and some friends there really love it. MP is quite different from the Pittas found in TW.

BTW, exact Chinese name for MP is 红树八色鸫 (Hong2 Shu4 Ba1 Se4 Dong1).

Thanks bro! Had to switch to 70-200 man, handheld is best because our little star keeps walking around. ;P
