[Blue-winged Kookaburra]

Alligator Creek, Bowling Green Bay National Park, Townsville, Australia, October 16, 2009

The Laughing Kookaburra is very similar. An easy way to tell them apart from this angle is to look at the face. The Laughing Kookaburra has a mask, the Blue-winged Kookaburra does not.
