NY Bird "cheeto colored " Beak (1 Viewer)

[cindy10989]

I saw some brownish black bird at feeder today.
What struck me was the bright orange color of his beak.
I mean it was BRIGHT!
I literally thought it was a cheeto and then i saw two others with same bright color beaks.
What the heck are they?

The Starling in breeding plumage has a bright yellow bill. Afaik, they are the only such black bird here in the US, apart from the Mynas that have escaped and settled in Florida.
