There are four species of kookaburra, all different in colour.
The most well-known species is the Laughing kookaburra. The largest of the kingfisher family, with a head-tail length of 45 cm, it has a white head (the female's head is yellowish - creamy coloured)with a dark brown stripe through the eye, while its back and wings are barred with brown stripes. The wings also have some distinctive light blue on them. Its tail tends to a more rufous colour, and has broad black bars.
The Blue-winged kookaburra is similar in appearance to the Laughing kookaburra, but it is distinctive for its vivid blue wings and darker blue tail.
The Spangled kookaburra has a white abdomen, and its wings and tail are brilliantly blue. Its head is strikingly mottled white and black.
The Rufous-bellied kookaburra is a very strikingly coloured bird. As suggested by its name, it has a rufous (reddish) abdomen and tail. It has a black back and a black cap, a white stripe which goes from the back of each eye and around e back of its head, and blue-tipped wings. Unlike other kookaburras, this species has a white bill, not a black one.
