it saddens me to know that most filipinos do not even know what the real Maya is. Never mind that it used to be out national bird. This not a Maya. Shown in the photo is the common brown “ibong bahay” as we always to call it. The real Maya is smaller and is endowed with a more striking deep red plumage. check this http://www.bird-stamps.org/query/philip/maya.htm
nice shot, though.
