The actual name is Black-backed dwarf kingfisher

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I was unaware of the situation.

The black-backed dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the three-toed kingfisher, is a pocket-sized bird in the family Alcedinidae. It was formerly considered as conspecific with the rufous-backed dwarf kingfisher and together the species complex was known by the English name "oriental dwarf kingfisher".

Neat
