It's a pity that I could not see its back.   It was found at Mai Po on 10.10.2005.   http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/cywong/c5c10ca6.jpg   http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/cywong/d579db1b.jpg « Last Edit: Nov 6th, 2005, 7:31am by Koel_Ko » Logged Thank you for sharing the joy of bird-watching.

Chestnut-cheeked Starling « Reply #2 on: Oct 13th, 2005, 8:13pm » Quote Modify Agreed - a classic adult male Chestnut-cheeked, this photo shows not only the chestnut cheeks (which can be remarkably difficult to see) but also the dark grey flanks which contrast with the white belly which especially on a more distant bird, can be easier to see.
