Guadalcanal Dwarf-Kingfisher Ceyx nigromaxilla

A small kingfisher with deep purplish-blue upperparts and fiery orange underparts, a white neck spot, and bright orange legs. Bill is blackish with a reddish base. Prefers mature and dense secondary forest, often perching low. No other dwarf-kingfisher shares its range. Told from Common Kingfisher by smaller size and red base to bill. Call apparently nearly identical to that of other Melanesian dwarf-kingfishers: a high-pitched, weak repetitive whistle, often given in flight.
