Female Guam Kingfisher. They got extinct mostly because brown tree snakes from New Guinea were accidentally brought into Guam by ship (during World War II) and where they multiplied because they don't have predators, eating almost every bird on the island including kingfishers. The last wild Micronesian kingfisher was observed on Guam in 1986.
