It feeds almost exclusively on fish and frequents streams, rivers and larger bodies of water. The half-collared kingfisher was described by the English ornithologist William John Swainson in 1823 and given its current binomial name Alcedo semitorquata.[2] The word Alcedo is the Latin for a "kingfisher". The specific epithet semitorquata is from the Latin semi- for "half" or "small" and torquatus for "collared".[3] The blue-eared kingfisher is one of seven species in the genus Alcedo and is most closely related to the shining-blue kingfisher (Alcedo quadribrachys).[4][5] The species is monotypic.[4] The half-collared kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It is around {{cvt|18|cm}} in length with a weight of {{cvt|35|-|40|g}}. It has blue upperparts, a white throat and pale orange underparts. The head has alternating light blue and dark blue bands running across the crown and each side of the neck has a creamy white stripe. The dark blue patches on either side of the neck form a half collar. The legs and feet are red. The sexes are very similar but the bill of the male is entirely black while the female has some red at the base of the lower mandible.[6] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22683033 |title=Alcedo semitorquata |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^{{ cite book | last=Swainson | first=William John | author-link=William John Swainson | year=1823 | title=Zoological Illustrations, or original figures and descriptions of new, rare, or interesting Animals, selected chiefly from the classes of ornithology, entomology, and conchology arrainged according to their apparent affinities | volume=Volume 3 | place=London | publisher=Printed by R. and A.
