The Bornean subspecie Stork-billed Kingfisher have a paler head color compared to the peninsula one which have a darker brown head ( malaccensis). See photo2 above.
I would not call it a different specie or lifer but to let you guys know. Who know the birding faternity may split them as a different specie in the near future ......... I doubt it as there is not much difference other than color of the head.
