The flat-billed kingfisher (Todiramphus recurvirostris) is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae. It is endemic to Samoa.
Flat-billed kingfishers are found on the islands of Upolu and Savai'i in lowland and coastal areas. [2] They were found not found in upland forests above 1,200m, most likely because food items become increasingly scarce with increased elevation. [2]
Like other species of kingfishers, the flat-billed kingfisher eats a variety of different food sources. However, they appear to be somewhat reliant on large insects and reptiles as part of their diet. [2]
