This bird is also known as the russet paradise kingfisher, is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae. It is endemic to the lowland forest in south east Papua New Guinea.
I wish I could find a better view of this bird in the middle of the rain forest. He perched on this branch for a few minutes then flew off to other area. It was early in the afternoon but too dark for a decent image (1/320s, f/5.6, iso-25600, +0.7).
