The rufous-backed kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa) is a species of bird in the Alcedinidae family. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand in tropical lowland forests near lakeshores and streamsides. The small bird is solitary and hunts from a low perch over the water by diving for insects and frogs. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Oriental dwarf kingfisher.

Absolutely gorgeous Paolo!
That's a group of colors I would have never expected on a Kingfisher and certainly makes this one a standout in many ways. Love the way the fish is speared on the beak too. Masterfully executed!
