Belted Kingfisher examining the waters for fish with a very studious look. Adult females have extra rufous coloration around their blue and grey breast feathers and a thick extra lower rufous band as well. Adult males have a solid white chest and do not have this lower breastband. Juvenile birds have a slightly more narrow lower band. Any thoughts as to whether this is an adult female or an immature juvenile? Sometimes telling the difference can be pretty tough. -- source link
