The white-throated kingfisher is quite sizable, measuring about 27 to 28 centimeters in length. Its vibrant blue hues adorn its wings, tail, and back, creating a stunning sight. Contrasting with this brilliant blue, the bird’s breast and throat are a pristine white. Additionally, its head, shoulders, flanks, and lower abdomen boast a rich chestnut shade. To add to its striking appearance, the kingfisher has striking crimson legs and a sizeable beak. When in flight, large white patches on its blue and black wings become quite apparent.
