What a smokin' closeup of this Kingfisher Celso. I'm assuming this is a female. Like our Kingfishers, the female is more colorful than the male.

Hi KC,
I think this is the male, the female would be this one: http://celsoparis.blogspot.com/2017/03/ringed-kingfisher-megaceryle-torquata.html

Ah, I was wrong. I was going by the Opus article and just assumed this beauty was a female but I did some further research from your link and learned differently

What a great picture with his crest up and framed naturally with the branches with its catch. Spectacular Celso!
