The Mindanao Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba crinigera), also known as Bartlett's Bleeding Heart Dove, Barlett's Bleeding Heart Pigeon and the Hair-breasted Bleeding Heart, is a species of bird in the pigeon family. It is endemic to the Philippines. It is so named because of a red blotch on its breast. The generic name derives from a fusion of the Latin gallus ("chicken") and columba ("pigeon").
