Wikipedia: The Indochinese roller (Coracias affinis) or Burmese roller, is a member of the roller bird family. It occurs widely from eastern India to Myanmar and Southeast Asia.
The Indochinese roller was formerly considered as a subspecies of the Indian roller because of a narrow hybrid zone in northeast India but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that the Indochinese roller was more closely related to the purple-winged roller (Coracias temminckii) than it is to the Indian roller. The Indochinese roller is monotypic: no subspecies are recognized.

had another go at the roller as it is in my local patch and had a bit of a mare missing everything in the grass but these with a bee were quite nice
The Indochinese roller (Coracias affinis) or Burmese roller, is a member of the roller bird family. It occurs widely from eastern India to China and southeast Asia.
Vehicles hustle across the Antioch Bridge spanning the San Joaquin River in morning traffic.
I was determined to find an unobstructed angle in which to feature the steep rise of this bridge. Entering an unlocked gate in the 2am hour, I made my way along this private section of Sherman Island. By the time I was ready to leave, the gate had been padlocked shut and I spent a few extra hours confined to this area until an unhappy property owner chided me for my trespassing ways. He then allowed me to exit.
Shot with the long end of the DFA 150-450.
The lilac-breasted roller is found in savanna and open woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Seen here in Tarangire National Park.
It’s easily spotted as it likes to perch conspicuously on top of high vantage points like trees and poles, looking for prey on the ground such as insects, scorpions, snails, and rodents. During mating seasons the males fly high to engage in huge dives and swoops whilst making loud calls. [credit SafarisAfricana]
