Common Kingfishers are usually seen in a flash of blue as they zoom by. Although they are named 'Common', these little kingfishers are not very common in Singapore as they are not considered residents but migrants more often seen in Singapore during the Northern Hemisphere's colder months from September to April.
Looking at the slightly reddish lower bill, this could be an adult female.
