[quote:1b8ecccbe0="tmichael"]Isn't this in fact a Sulawesi Magpie, or whatever it's called - a member of an Australo-Papuan genus and not an Oriental one, such as mynas - photographed inside the Sir Edward Youde Aviary at HK Park, the most reliable site for them in HK?

I'm a green horn to birding. I looked up this species in Dorling Kindersley Handbooks and found this:This species breeds dominantly on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia and it belongs to the Sturnidae family while the magpie the Corvidae where you will have the species like the jay, magpie, nutcracker, chough, jackdaw and crow. In this sense, there is no mistake about it with 'Sulawesi' but as regards 'Magpie', hm ... can some one here tell?
