1. Alcedo beryllina = Alcedo coerulescens (cerulean kingfisher)
The cerulean kingfisher (Alcedo coerulescens) is a kingfisher in the subfamily Alcedininae which is native to parts of Indonesia. With an overall metallic blue impression, it is very similar to the common kingfisher, but it is white underneath instead of orange. Males average bluer than females, which have a greenish cast. The cerulean kingfisher is native to Sumatra, Java, the Kangean Islands, Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa, all in Indonesia. It is a resident species that inhabits low-lying areas near streams, canals, flooded paddy-fields and tidal estuaries.
Order: Coraciiformes > Family: Alcedinidae > Subfamily: Alcedininae > Genus: Alcedo > Species: Alcedo coerulescens
2.3. Alcedo meninting (blue-eared kingfisher)
The blue-eared kingfisher (Alcedo meninting) is found in Asia, ranging across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is found mainly in dense shaded forests where it hunts in small streams. It is darker crowned, with darker rufous underparts and lacking the rufous ear stripe of the common kingfisher which is found in more open habitats.

4. Alcedo azurea = Ceyx azureus (azure kingfisher)
The azure kingfisher (Ceyx azureus) is a small kingfisher in the river kingfisher subfamily, Alcedininae. The azure kingfisher is found in northern and eastern Australia and Tasmania, as well as the lowlands of New Guinea and neighbouring islands, and out to North Maluku and Romang.
Order: Coraciiformes > Family: Alcedinidae > Subfamily: Alcedininae > Genus: Ceyx > Species: Ceyx azureus

Possibly Papuan dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx solitarius)?
