Help me identify this bleeding heart pigeon

Can you identify this bleeding heart pigeon.

At first I thought this is a Mindanao Bleeding Heart, but I noticed the white on its neck and the blue coloration on its chest.













Thank you!

They seem to be Gallicolumba criniger leytensis found on Samar, Leyte and Bohol islands. So you were right they are Mindanao Bleeding Hearts, just not the usual ones.

Seeing your earlier posts, I sure hope you haven't bought these, which not only would be illegal (both per international and Philippine law) but also potentially contributing to the extinction of this rare species. Even if held with all the required permissions, cages of this standard are well below the minimum requirements.
