Sturnus vulgaris
MrsPbio, WOW!! Thank you for sharing and for helping me identify the bird.
These startlings are wearing their brand-new feathers. Most people are used to seeing the shiny blackish-bluish version. As the feathers wear down, the white tips wear off, leaving the dark color behind.
It's too bad these birds are so aggressively invasive. (They are from europe.) They are beautiful, and fun to observe. But they can be nasty to our native species. :(
