Congrats to Dr. Chito L. for this week's FBPOTW!

This bird is commonly heard and seen in the highlands, but its very active nature makes it a very tough subject to photograph. This amazing capture has tons of detail, great colors, and more importantly it shows the face of the bird very well, giving us a good idea why it was named such.
