About
The Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher inhabits the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is one of the smallest kingfisher species in the world, typically measuring no more than 13 centimeters in length. With its orange-yellow underparts, coral-red bill, and shimmering lilac and crimson plumage on its back, it resembles a tiny jewel. It is usually found in dense forest habitats along rivers, streams, and ponds. Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, and small aquatic creatures.
