@KarenPuracan, i don't know how it is called in Tagalog. i just know it's scientific name :)) i'll ask my dad. we used mist nets to catch birds. we're conducting a survey on the place where we caught it.

How on earth did you catch it?!? In Cebuano we call it "Tikarol" ... is it the same in Tagalog?
