    Metallic Starling

    These is an immatures by its streaked white underparts. Adults are shiny black all over. Both have blazing red eyes as seen here. They breed colonially and were fairly common on most of the Maluku islands we visited. The similar Singing Starling (Aplonis cantoroides) has a much shorter tail...

    An adult of the nominate race metallica. I'm now down to the last few bird photos I took on my trip to far North QLD. I've also kept the least good 'til last. This Metallic Starling was in the beautiful garden of the place I was staying.
