Pittas tend to be very set in their ways, often feeding at the same location at the same time, but they will fly off at the slightest disturbance. If you can find where and when and set up beforehand staying quiet and still you should be able to get good views and pictures. I have done this in Goa, hiding in a ditch and in the mountains of Sri Lanka hiding behind a large rock. They tend to stay in the same small area and feed for half an hour or more.
To clarify further, Hydrornis is a synonym for Pitta so either is acceptable, however guajana was the former name but since the species split should only be used for the Javan species and not the Malayan species. The correct scientific name to be used should be either "Pitta irena" or "Hydrornis irena".
To be precise, the following note is taken from Clements checklist v6.7: "Banded Pitta Pitta guajana is split into three species, following Rheindt and Eaton (2010): Malayan Banded-Pitta (Pitta irena), Bornean Banded-Pitta (Pitta schwaneri), and Javan Banded-Pitta (Pitta guajana). Also, subspecies ripleyi is merged with irena, following Rheindt and Eaton (2010); revise the range of irena from ""Malay Peninsula and Sumatra"" to ""s Peninsular Thailand, Malay Peninsula and Sumatra"".

Ready corrected.
As Malcom pointed out and corrected me, the scientific name is Pitta irena. Should add that to spotting.

When it come to find feeding, always jump around there, that can take a photo all sides of it.
Though I say that is one colorful bird and love how you were able to get all the sides of it.
