Rock pipit in summer plumage? (1 Viewer)

[jpskoubo]

Hi all
I went to the Faroe Islands recently, and on the small island of Nolsoy, I came across this little brown bird.
I have identified it as rock pipit, and I think it is in its summer plumage - am I all wrong?

No,
its a Starling. Please note blackish lores, the right shape of the bill, producing a typicall head for this species allone. Together with the right plumage

Thank you! It is because it is a juvenile bird that I did not recognize it, now I got it
