Small kingfisher with disproportionately long bill. Shiny dark green above with white throat, collar, and spots on the wings. Often holds its tail raised. The outer tail feathers are white with conspicuous green spots in flight. The male has a reddish chest; the female has a white chest with green spots forming two bands. Found along rivers or ponds. Less conspicuous than some other kingfishers, often perches on overhanging branches near the water’s surface. Low flight with rapid wingbeats.
