Gallicolumba crinigera
The Mindanao Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba crinigera) is a species of bird in the pigeon and dove family (Columbidae). It is endemic to the Philippines. It is so named because of a red blotch on its breast. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss and overhunting. It occurs (or did occur) on Samar, Leyte, Bohol, Dinagat, Mindanao and Basilan, but the only records since the 1980s are from Mindanao, Bohol and Samar. The Basilan subspecies, Gallicolumba crinigera bartletti, apparently became extinct by the mid-20th century,[citation needed] but captives claimed as being of this subspecies still exist, among others in the San Diego Zoo. -Wikipedia
