All-over cinnamon-orange, like a kingfisher dipped in sunset. Haunts dark forest streams and delivers fast.
- Populasi
- Global population size unquantified; described as widespread but generally rare/uncommon, with a suspected decreasing trend due to forest habitat loss

- Mangrove forests, temperate and tropical forest, freshwater wetlands (permanent rivers/streams/creeks), lowland and montane dry forest, dense jungle, plantations and rural/urban gardens; medium forest dependency, sea level to about 1,800 m
- Fakta menarik
- Despite its striking rust-red-to-purple plumage and oversized bright-red bill, the Ruddy Kingfisher is famously more often heard than seen, favoring dense forest cover — making it rare and highly sought-after by birders in Japan.
