Looks more like a Hildebrandt's starling (Lamprotornis hildebrandti) with the red eye and without the white chest band. L. superbus has a white band separating the dark breast and rufous-orange belly and a cream colored eye. They otherwise are very much the same and tend to congregate together. But regardless, a great image! Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink ) view profile AnyMotion Pro User says: @chuck.derby: Many thanks for the correct ID and your great help. More

Hildebrandt's Starling is often found feeding in mixed flocks with the Superb Starling. While superficially similar to the Superb, the adults can be distinguished by eye colour (red in Hildebrandt's, creamy-white in the Superb) and breast band (the adult Superb has a white band across its chest). Hildebrandt's Starling is a ground feeder taking beetles and grasshoppers but it will also eat seeds. It feeds in small family groups or pairs. More
