Detalles de la observación
Identified and submitted at the time as Chestnut-cheeked Starling. I considered Daurian Starling but this bird lacked dark nape patch. Not having many images available of Daurian I submitted it as Chestnut-cheeked. At some point the eBird reviewer invalidated the photos without comment, not contacting me to tell me it was Daurian. By chance in March 2024 I was reviewing my photos and saw that these were not accepted. Many more images available today for comparison. The white tipped scapulars, orange in primaries, and buff undertail covets point to Daurian Starling, Sturnus sturninus. Only a few records for Japan in eBird but Shimba for example says it is a rare May migrant to offshore islands.
