Wattled Starling
Creatophora cinerea
Home Alphabetical Taxonomic Comments


 
Non-breeding male, female and immature wattled starlings are pale brown-grey with black wings and white rump. The breeding male has yellow skin and black wattles on the head. As these images show, the wattled starling is often seen in association with livestock or game on which it forages for parasites, like its oxpecker relatives.
