Chestnut-winged Starlings (Onychognathus sp./spp.)

Sex; not relevant here. Age; possible all adult, not important here. Subspecies; not relevant here. Udzungwa Mts., July 2007. Copyright@; Louis A. Hansen. Typical flock of starling. On a distance they suddenly become unexpected hard to identify: these birds are possible slender-billed starling (the graduated tail is very difficult to see even on flying birds), it seems as there also is a Kendrick's starling among these.
