We saw a flock of starling that our (bird specialist guide) said were Sharp-tailed Starlings. I took photos but they were far away and the light was fading, so the photos just show silhouettes. Is the bird on the right from this trip to Botwana in photo 5 a Sharp-tailed? The location is good, the tail is wedge-shaped and the underwing looks pale, not black, as Sasol says. I did an internet image search, but I could find no photos of this bird in flight, and the few of it sitting included some obvious mid-IDs (eg Green Wood-hoopoe). I can't decide if the starling on the branch is Cape Glossy or the same as the bird in flight.Thanks</blockquote>
