The sacred kingfisher is a medium-sized woodland kingfisher that inhabits mangroves, woodlands, forests and river valleys in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the western Pacific. It is mostly blue-green to turquoise above with white underparts and collar feathers, a black mask and buff lores. Both sexes are similar, though females are usually greener and duller (Wikipedia, general species account).
