Rufous-Backed Kingfisher
(Ceyx rufidorsa)
Size: 14 cm
Description:
Distinguished from Black-Backed Kingfisher by its paler wings; also note lack of black spot behind ear. Sometimes it included in Black-Backed Kingfisher as hybridization does occurs.
Voice:
Whistling chi-chip call.
Habits:
Strictly a forest bird, only occurring within primary and mature secondary rainforest in the lowlands. Shy; perches low. It’s usually seen flying low across the forest trail, like a tiny orange projectile, often near a small stream. The nest is built in a cavity in low earth embarkments. |

Olá Ang
Um registro fantástico deste belo pássaro!
As cores são as mais belas e exóticas; a
luz é muito boa assim como a nitidez.
Parabéns
Grande abraço
Vera
