New Georgia Dwarf-Kingfisher Ceyx collectoris

A small purplish-and-orange kingfisher with a bright waxy orange bill, ginger underparts, a white throat, and an orange-tinged white neck spot. Found in forest habitats, not necessarily near water, tolerating plantations and degraded forest. No other dwarf-kingfisher shares its range. Told from Common Kingfisher by smaller size, darker purplish upperside, and entirely red bill. Call apparently nearly identical to that of other Melanesian dwarf-kingfishers: a high-pitched, weak repetitive whistle, often given in flight.
