A small kingfisher with deep purplish-blue upperparts and fiery orange underparts with a white neck spot and bright orange legs. Bill is blackish-red above and purer red below, but appears entirely red in the field. 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 rather than black bill. Call apparently nearly identical to that of other Melanesian dwarf-kingfishers: a high-pitched, weak repetitive whistle, often given in flight.
