It is a speckeled and barred black and white kingfisher with the typical,
stout, dagger-shaped bill. The female is similar to male but with a single
black gorget broken in the middle, as against two more or less complete ones
in the male. It frequents rivers, jheels, irrigation tanks and tidal creeks.
Its food consists of fish, tadpoles, frogs and aquatic insects. Its nesting
season is between October and May. Both sexes share excavation, incubation and
feeding the young
