Dear Members

I was on Fiji to look for birds and I spotted a Jungle Myna, I was sure it was a Jungle Myna until I came to Singapore on my way home. 1st Picture

I made a stop over for a few days of birding and I spotted another Myna and I put it down as a Jungle Myna.

2nd Picture but now I'm doubtful. Maybe a Javan Myna??

Any one that can be so kind to confirm this?

3rd picture is a bird I spotted in Bangkok, I put it down as a Great Myna.

Now I'm doubtfull and confused.

The Javan Myna Acridotheres javanicus, also known as the white-vented myna and the buffalo myna

The White-vented Mynas (Acridotheres grandis) - also known as Crested Mynas, Great Mynas

And there is another bird called Crested Myna Acridotheres cristatellus

Is there anyone that can be so kind to confirm the three identities I made of the above birds?

Happy birdings
Kind Regards
Aladdin

1. Jungle Myna note orange-red bill and dark (blue-black) bill base
2. Javan Myna
3. Great Myna

So you are correct on all counts.

You made my day! The Javan and Jungle are kind of look a like. The Javan with the small crest

#2 Javan Myna, I had actually put it down as a Jungle Myna but I got suspicious.

Thank you very much
