Black-winged Starling

The Black-winged Starling is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. The species is also known as the Black-winged Myna or the White-breasted Starling. It is endemic to Indonesia. There are three recognised subspecies, the nominate race, which occurs across much of the island of Java, tricolor, which is restricted to south east Java, and tertius, which is found on Bali and possibly Lombok. The validity of the records on Lombok has been called into question, there are only a few records and they may represent escapees from the cagebird trade or natural vagrants. The species has often been assigned to the starling genus Sturnus, but is now placed in Acridotheres because it is behaviourally and vocally closer to the birds in that genus.

The Black-winged Starling is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

Black-winged Starling (Sturnus melanopterus) at Jurong Town, South West. "Not the greatest photo, and it's a captive bird, but was unrepresented in the Field Guide, and something is better than nothing. At the Jurong Bird Park, Singapore. Avibase says they're endangered. Didn't notice at the time if there was a breeding pair in the enclosure, but I hope so." by cramsay23 (www.flickr.com/photos/cramsay23/). Date: Taken on June 1, 2007.
