Sturnus vulgaris
"The plumage is shiny black, glossed purple or green, and spangled with white, particularly strongly so in winter. Adult male European Starlings are less spotted below than adult females. The throat feathers are long and loose, and used as a signal in display.The legs are stout, pinkish-red. The bill is narrow conical with a sharp tip; in summer, it is yellow in females, and yellow with a blue-grey base in males, while in winter, and in juveniles, it is black in both sexes." - Wikipedia
Fence at horse ranch near the coast. "This species of starling is native to most of temperate Europe and western Asia." - Wikipedia
