Little Paradise-Kingfisher Tanysiptera hydrocharis

A little-known, long-tailed kingfisher of riverine forests. White underparts and rump, black mask, deep blue wing, pale blue cap, red bill and long tail. Very similar to Common Paradise-Kingfisher, but Little Paradise-Kingfisher is smaller, with a darker crown, blue rather than white outer tail feathers and a slighter bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Song, a series of 8 descending notes.
