Description

The rufous-collared kingfisher (Actenoides concretus) is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. This species is 22–25.5 cm (8.7-10.0 inches) long and about 60-90 grams (2.1-3.2 ounces), making it medium-sized among kingfishers. It is mostly blue-green above, with yellow spots on its back. It has a green crown and a black eye mask. Despite its name, some do not have the rufous breast band. Instead, those individuals have rufous underparts overall.

Feeding Habits
Rufous-collared Kingfisher's diet includes invertebrates like cicadas, beetles, mantises, spiders, scorpions, and snails, as well as vertebrates such as small fish, snakes, and lizards. It forages from low perches with distinctive tail-wagging and head-cocking, occasionally stirring leaf litter for prey. Rufous-collared Kingfisher is known to adeptly remove scorpion stings.
Habitat
Rufous-collared Kingfisher inhabit dense evergreen and semi-evergreen forests that have regenerated to a closed-canopy stage. Their preferred environment features the understorey to middle stratum of forested regions in hilly to montane areas within the broader geographical scope of the Thai-Malay Peninsula and Borneo, thriving particularly in mature, moist woodland ecosystems.
