Green kingfisher

My first encounter with a green kingfisher 😊 Harlingen, Texas.

Dark green bird with white neck and hefty pointed bill in contrast with its size. Some rufous colouring barely shows at the neck/chest area indicating it's a male. White spots are also seen on one of its wings and feathers on the back of its head look flared out as if it's wind blown.

This lovely #greenkingfisher was found in the #Pantanal, not far from the last posted Amazon kingfisher. Species range includes Mexico, Central & South America, and also extends into parts of Arizona & Texas. It's smallish at about 2/3 the size of the belted kingfisher. #brazilbirds #avesbrasil 🌿🪶🇧🇷

A few Guyana Kingfishers look alike: Green, Amazon, and Ringed. I believe this is the latter.
