Juvenile Starling - China (1 Viewer)

[Semiramis]

Hi,

I only have these three poor pictures shot through the front window of the car hence the not very sharp photos.

This could be a juvenile Daurian or Rosy Starling imo. I lean more towards Rosy Starling, but these pictures do not quite match any of my images in the field guides for both species. Or am I overlooking another starling species?

Photo taken in Qinghai high up on the plateau at about 4300m, 150km west of Qumalai.

Thanks for any help!


Cheers,

Sjef

Looks good for juv Rosy Starling. I have seen this in both Qinghai and NW Sichuan although it is scarce in both.
