Observation details
Photo'd. This species was not originally listed on this checklist, but based on photos and timestamp, it belongs on here now. I believe our group immediately got side-tracked on the Violet-backed Starlings. One of the photos here shows this starling with a male VBST. Blackish ear covert patch seems extensive behind eye unlike Lesser Blue-eared Starling. Patch, eye, upperparts color, and tail length does not seem to fit Purple Starling.
