• What is "rufous"?

Reddish-brown color, added link.

• "It is .." vs "They also..." sing -> pl, any reason?

Clarified, it was supposed to refer only to adult males.

• "loral patches" what?

Linked.

• Don't know what a culmen is.

Added link.

• "clutches of 2" two.

Fixed.

• "to New Guinea. It is found through" merge.

Done.

• "between altitudes of" at elevations between...

Done.

• "Mountain kingfisher has been designated as the official common name by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). The species is also known as the greater yellow-billed kingfisher or mountain yellow-billed kingfisher." unreferenced.

Added refs.

• Link IUCN in the article. Indeed, explain what it is, it's not clear to non-experts.

Added link, but I don't think that an explanation is necessary as the Red List is pretty well-known.

• Dates in references should be consistent format.

I added a date to the Journal fur Ornithologie ref, are there any others with errors? AryKun (talk) 10:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
