Dollarbird

The Oriental dollarbird is a bird of the roller family, named for the coin-shaped pale blue or white spots on its wings. It ranges from Australia to Korea, Japan and India. Ten subspecies are recognised, and irisi is the one listed for Sri Lanka, while laetior is found in the Western Ghats of southwestern India (Wikipedia, general species account).

A 2018 study found the azure dollarbird of the North Moluccas nested within a clade of Oriental dollarbird subspecies. Nationally Endangered (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012).
