Both sexes look the same, jjuveniles are different. If you notice, this bird is an adult, why? because the beak is yellow. Most starlings look black from afar but they have multicolor plumage when near. Thank you, Jane, 🙂
Exactly! with feathers it’s very difficult to know exact colors. All depends on the refraction of light and the way the feather is constructed. Thanks, Ashley. 🙂

Female or juvenile?

I was on my tablet earlier and these colour variations did not show up so well. Now I see it! thank you for your reply.
You have caught the color well HJ, we often do not see it so well.

What always comes to mind for me with these birds is their huge flocks!
They are called murmurations, they could amount to thousands of birds and fly around synchronizing forming amazing forms. Thanks, D. 🙂
