Common Kingfisher
Alcedo atthis
Common Kingfisher adult males have blue-green upperparts, a bright blue back and rump, and rich orange underparts, with a compact body and short tail. Fine pale blue spots mark the crown and wing coverts, while the breast is largely unmarked orange and the short tail is blue. A distinct white throat contrasts with the orange cheeks and blue-green feathers along the sides of the head.
