Spotted a bird, I have never seen before.

Looks like a cross between a kingfisher and a crow. A kingcrow? :-)

A New Species of Bird - a Kingcrow?

Of course, if anyone can tell me the name of this bird, I would be most grateful.

p.s. Thanks to SS Khoo of MNS for the info that this is the White-throated Kingfisher, a very common kingfisher in Malaysia.
