I saw this Collared kingfisher from my hotel balcony and went down to get a better picture, if possible. The bird is about 22-29 cm long and the color on the upper side is blue or green, while it is white or beige below, with a white collar that has given it its name. This subspecies also has a black eyebrow line. The large bill is black and whitish-yellow at the very end of the lower half of the bill. The female tends to be greener than the male. This species is one of the most widely distributed Asian kingfishers. It occurs basically from the Red Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
