Rufous-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher

A tiny and unbelievably cute kingfisher: a luminous ball of pink, orange, yellow, and varying amounts of blue and purple. A brightly-coloured back distinguishes this species from the closely related Black-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher. It forages in shaded patches of dense vegetation, in mangroves, overgrown edge, or deep lowland and foothill forest. It is often near shallow forest streams and small pools.
