Pied kingfisher
The pied kingfisher (''Ceryle rudis'') is a water kingfisher and is found widely distributed across Africa and Asia. Its black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish makes it distinctive. Males have a double band across the breast while females have a single gorget that is often broken in the middle. They are usually found in pairs or small family parties. When perched, they often bob their head and flick up their tail.
==Description==
This kingfisher is about 17 cm long and is white with a black mask, a white supercilium and black breast bands. The crest is neat and the upperparts are barred in black. Several subspecies are recognized within the broad distribution. The nominate race is found in sub-Saharan Africa, extending into West Asia. A former subspecies ''syriaca'' is considered as merely a larger northern bird of the nominate species (following Bergmann's rule). Subspecies ''leucomelanura'' is found from Afghanistan east into India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Laos. The subspecies ''travancoreensis'' of the Western Ghats is darker with the white reduced. Subspecies ''C. r. insignis'' is found in Hainan and southeastern China and has a much larger bill. Males have a narrow second breast-band while females have a single broken breast band.
