Other common names: Timor/Sunda/Lesser Sundas/Cinnamon-backed/Cinnamon-collared Kingfisher
Taxonomy: Alcedo australasia Vieillot, 1818, no locality = Timor.
Genus often merged into Halcyon. Forms a superspecies with T. sanctus, T. tutus, T. veneratus, T. gambieri and T. godeffroyi; has at times been considered conspecific with T. sanctus. Race interpositus included in dammerianus by some authors; tringorum possibly better lumped with nominate, as reckoned to be unstable and hybrid. Five subspecies tentatively recognized.
