European Starling

Sturnus vulgaris. This is the species which forms flocks of millions in Britain and similar locations. Many people don't like them, but I think they are beautiful birds. This one was singing his heart out. The color is refraction of sunlight. Non-breeding plumage. I'm sure it's named for the stars on its feathers. Found at Santa Cruz Flats, Arizona.
