Brown-winged Kingfisher

The Brown-winged Kingfisher is a chunky, large, orangish tree kingfisher with an oversized head and a scarlet dagger of a bill. No other large kingfisher in its range has dark brown wings. It has a bright blue-green rump patch clearly visible during flight. It is restricted to coastal habitats such as mangroves and estuaries and gives loud, fluid-sounding whistles as well as harsh grating rattles.
