There are rainbows, double rainbows and sometimes X pattern showing rainbows.
Link below describes...
This is known as a reflection bow. Whilst rare, a reflection rainbow mainly occurs when the sun is lower on the horizon behind you (i.e. late afternoon/evening) and when you are near to a large body of water, such as a river, lake or sea inlet.
Sunlight reflects off the surface of the water and through raindrops, but at a different angle to the direct beam of sunlight.
