Hi Gajanan,
Nice image here. I believe this is the Crested Kingfisher found primarily in Northern India. They are larger than their monochromatic Cousins, the pied Kingfisher.

Bibhav Bhai has rightly observed that it is Crested Kingfisher (Ceryle lugubris), also known as Himalayan Pied Kingfisher for its range and habitat.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

I agree that this is not the pied kingfisher but the crested kingfisher. A beautiful bird. It would have been great if you could have moved a bit to your left. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
