Sturnia malabarica
Head and neck feathers are pale grey.Upperparts are also grey; Underparts are rufous chestnut in colour. Tail is chestnut coloured. Base of bill is blue but the tip is yellow.
Residential colony. Feeding on insects but will soon come to claim biscuit crumbs.
I see these birds through winter but very rarely, if at all, in summer. This is the first one I spotted this year. Also called Sturnus malabaricus
