Amazon Kingfisher
This male Amazon Kingfisher had caught a fairly large fish and had not yet eaten it. The males have rufous on the breast, while the females do not, which is the opposite of Belted Kingfishers whose females have rufous on the breast. The Amazon Kingfisher has solid green wings with no white on them. The white line on the neck helps with camouflage. Kingfishers spend a lot of time perched, and the white line makes the back look like two separate shapes rather than one bird shape. Kingfishers have feet that have evolved mostly for perching, and they can barely walk.
