Lamprotornis superbus
This species is 7–7.5 inches long. Adults have black heads and iridescent blue-to-green back, upper breast, wings, and tail. The belly is red-orange, separated from the blue breast by a white bar. The undertail coverts and the wing linings are white. The Superb Starling is distinguished by having white eyes, as opposed to red eyes in the similar Hildebrandt's Starling.
Mostly found in East Africa from Ethiopia down to Tanzania.
