Call isitta lilacea (Whitehead). 



This fine species is easily recognized as pointed out by Grant. 5 by the feathers 

 of the face and ear-coverts being lilac instead of blue. The white loral spot 

 is washed with lilac and there is a distinct nuchal band of the same color. A

 than specimens from Bataan Province, Luzon.
