Black-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca)

The range of this species comprises a pair of disjunct populations in southeast Asia; within Sri Lanka and the Western Ghats of India; and from Bangladesh, Assam and Bhutan into southern China, Indochina and Hainan, and south into northern Peninsular Thailand. Non-breeding and wintering populations extend south throughout the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.

Two subspecies are recognised, as follows:

C. e. erithaca - found throughout range of species, barring the area cited below.
C. e. macrocarus - endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
