The green-and-rufous kingfisher (''Chloroceryle inda'') is a resident breeding bird in the lowlands of the American tropics from southeastern Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. ==Description== The green-and-rufous kingfisher is long and weighs . It has the typical kingfisher shape, with a short tail and long bill. The adult male has glossy green upperparts, with white spotting on the wings, and a rufous nape and underparts. The female has a narrow green breast band. Young birds resemble the adult female, but have more spotting on the wings and back. There are no recognised subspecies of the green-and-rufous kingfisher. The call of this large American green kingfisher is a ''chip-chip-chip'' and some twittering. The green-and-rufous kingfisher resembles the American pygmy kingfisher, which shares its range, but it is much larger than its relative, and four times as heavy. It lacks the white lower belly shown by the smaller species, and has more white spots on the wings. The smaller green kingfisher and much larger Amazon kingfisher both have a white belly and collar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green-and-rufous kingfisher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
