That's a cracker of a picture you've taken of this lady Darwin. Only the second picture to come into the Gallery!!

We don't have a picture of a female in The Opus, so I'll upload this picture to the article shortly.

Many thanks for sharing her with us.

Hello Delia
the other two kingfisher shown in opus are also females. The male has a blue head, completely without yellow stripes. Unfortunately I did not get one in front of the camera here in sulawesi
