Moluccan Dwarf-Kingfisher Ceyx lepidus

A small kingfisher with a bright orange bill, peach underparts, a speckled blue head, and deep blue upperparts with an electric blue stripe running down them. Also note the white neck mark and the orange blotches above the bill. Juveniles darker above, with dark base to bill. Found singly or in pairs in forest understorey within the lowlands and foothills, sometimes beside forest streams. Differentiated from Common and Azure Kingfishers by its smaller size and orange bill. Gives a shrill, single drawn-out “tseeeeet” call.
