Acridotheres tristis
The Common Myna is readily identified by the brown body, black hooded head and the bare yellow patch behind the eye. The bill and legs are bright yellow. There is a white patch on the outer primaries and the wing lining on the underside is white. The sexes are similar and birds are usually seen in pairs.

Hi, AngeSylvestri, I'd just like you to know that the Indian Myna is an extremely invasive species around the world when it's out of its native range. In Hawaii particularly, it is considered an invasive threat.
This spotting is a good fit for the mission, Alien Species in Hawaii: https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/176... Thanks!
