The grey-headed kingfisher (Halcyon leucocephala), also known as the grey hooded kingfisher, has a silvery-grey head, nape and breast and a distinctive chestnut belly. The grey-headed kingfisher is found in tropical and semi-tropical Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Unlike most kingfishers it is not aquatic, though it is often found by water. It is similar to the woodland kingfisher, but the woodland kingfisher lacks the chestnut belly and has greater coverage of cyan feathers on the back.
