Rose-coloured Starling or Red-billed Starling?

Would experienced bird watchers help to identify this bird?

Looks like Rosy to me - a deep-based yellow bill and plain buff colours, plus what looks like  wing panel made of buff fringes to the outer tertials.

Good to see pix of this bird and nice to know its still around.

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for your expert opinion.

I am really delighted to know that this bird is a Rose-coloured Starling.
