LV, 29Jun. I thought it is a Crested Myna. But then after taking a closer look, I found the eye colour is yellow instead of red. Is it simply because it is a juvenile, or it is something else?

Yes, it's definitely a Crested Myna. At this time of the year juveniles are quite common.

Yes, the eye colour changes with age. Other clues to this being a juvenile are the short crest and the dull bill.
