The Purple Roller ,Eurystomus axureus, in the database would appear to be
a Rufous-crowned Roller , Coracias naevius , as it was taken in South Africa and not in the Mollucas - looks like confusion arising fromthe common name?

I would also like to question the database photo for Half-collared kingfisher as it looks like it could be an immature Malachite Kingfisher to me - perhaps someone could confirm?
