Muddy Turnstone
Young birder
Hello!
I spotted this bird today in a flock of Starlings, seems very suspicious. It's much brighter than a young Starling on it's back, but darker on the wings. Also, it's even brighter on the belly. I didn't see the beak, as it was far away and it was looking away from me.
I think it stands between adult leucistic Starling or juvenile Rosy Starling, but Rosy is rare here, so it's probably a leucistic, but I want to hear your opinions. Maybe it's not even ID-able?
Thanks in advance! :t:
