        G'day Scottie
All of what Steve Says is correct, but if you look at
birdsofmelanesia.net you will see that  the Rufous-bellied has been
also seen on Aore as well.  So if you had named the island you were
on, it would be easier to alert you to what is around there.
birdsofmelanesia.net gives you annotated checklists for 600 Melanesian
islands.  If you find something new let me know and I can add it to
the appropriate list(s)

The bird in your photo is a well-coloured Collared Kingfisher.
Cheers

Mike Tarburton
