Old photos, taken on 1 May 2008 at Kowloon Park

Are they both Chestnut-tailed Starling?

Yup,Chestnut-tailed. The bill colour is diagnostic. Haven't seen them for quite some time...anyone know if they are still around Kowloon Park?

Matthew, old photos only.

I am just interested to know why their colors are so different. Are they different subspecies?
Thanks

Matthew, up to four recorded in Kowloon Park in 2014 (after no records in 2013) so maybe just hanging on. See here

Has anyone seen this species in Kowloon Park (or anywhere) in 2015?
