The Negros Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba keayi) is one of a number of species if ground dove in the genus Gallicolumba that are called "bleeding-hearts". They get this name from a splash of vivid red colour at the centre of their white breasts. Another common name for this species is Punalada (Pilipino). It is endemic to the Philippines.
This species has an extremely small, severely fragmented population. Continuing rates of forest loss on the two islands where it occurs suggest that it will continue to decline, thereby qualifying it as Critical.
