Alcedo atthis

bluegrey bill with pinkish color on upper mandible and violett head gloss, very dark back and light flanks-- I go for tufted duck  x wood duck, kuif x carolina.

the whitish iris is odd but this is the 3rd bird I see that looks like Kuif x carolina and has a whitish iris.

I have no idea what else this could be.

Wilde x carolina should have green head, brownish back, mainly yellow bill

thinking of the kuif x witoog in the other topic, could carolina x witoogeend be a possiblity for this bird? Although maybe unlikely...
