Pied Kingfisher

A striking photograph captures a Pied Kingfisher perched on a bed of pebbles near a body of water. The bird is boldly marked black-and-white kingfisher with short, bushy crest and glossy all-dark bill. Superficially similar to Crested Kingfisher, but smaller, with a much more distinctly patterned head and breast and less erect crest.
