Black-headed kingfisher


The black-headed kingfisher is a kingfisher in the subfamily Halcyoninae that is endemic to the eastern and southern regions of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It can be found in dense lowland forests up to elevation. It is threatened by habitat destruction by deforestation.
The black-headed kingfisher is considered as a subspecies of the green-backed kingfisher by the International Ornithologists' Union but some taxonomists elevate the taxon to species status.
