The yellow bill with blue base is charactristic.   Logged TH_Kwan BBS Member BBS Full Member I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 48 Re: Is this a Chestnut-tailed Starling 灰頭椋鳥? « Reply #2 on: Mar 2nd, 2003, 5:38pm » Quote Modify Please note that this species in Kowloon Park is the Sturnus Nemoricola instead of the Sturnus Malabaricus. The one illustrated in the Hong Kong & South China Birds page 4 is Sturnus Malabaricus. The one shown in the photograph was illustrated in plate 73 no. 5a in "A Field Guide to the Birds of South-East Asia"   A noteworthy characteristic of this species is the narrow streak of chestnut color connecting the legs and the flanks, a feature beautifully illustrated in this photograph.   TH Kwan.
