This is the common kingfisher that came and went like fleeting light on Sept 14. We spotted him at about 5:30pm. Being too far away, you left subsequently. I got this after changing into a 45x eyepiece. I didn't see the white-throated you posted here. It must be very far away as well.

I took this picture before we saw the Common Kingfisher. It was 16:28pm. It was at the opposite side of the river. I took a lot of shots and this is one of the sharpest. I have some pictures of this Common Kingfisher but they are too small. Your picture is much better
