Hi
going through my photos from earlier in Feb this year and can't decide if this is a Greater or Lesser Blue-eared Starling. Any pointers please? Taken near the Rufiji River in the Pwani Region of Tanzania on 14th Feb 2024

On distribution it 'should' be southern blue-eared starling (lumped with lesser blue-eared starling?). But (my) 2nd edition of the f/guide is known to have rubbish maps (and the 3rd not much better?).
