Size of C. c. stuartkeithi edit
I've reverted a statement that claimed that the subspecies C. c. stuartkeithi is only 10cm in length. This is too small - it is the size of the African dwarf kingfisher. It appears that C. c. stuartkeithi is actually slightly larger than the nominate - see the description by Dickerman in 1989 here where it appears the C. c. stuartkeithi is larger - not smaller - than C. c. galeritus. - Aa77zz (talk) 20:28, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Image of incorrect bird edit
Under the 'Distribution and habitat' section of this page, the image shown is, as far as I'm aware, an African pygmy kingfisher, not a malachite. PeanutButterBean (talk) 09:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- @PeanutButterBean: Thanks for raising this. I have looked at pictures of malachite kingfishers on a number of other websites, and I'm confident that you are right in saying that this picture isn't one. I don't know whether it's an African pygmy kingfisher or not, but I'll remove the picture. JBW (talk) 09:32, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
