I have no idea what kind of bird this is but I do know he or she has lots of color. I went down to try and get some shots of crows walking and 5 of these guys showed up.
European Starlings are beautiful - but a pain as they take over the neighborhoods from all the other birds. I'm doing my best not to invite them on the property.

Well exposed & # 4 is my top pick

Hi Lady Lil, I know nothing about them except they are sure pretty.
They do have beautiful reflections off their feathers Roger and as you have illustrated but they are a much maligned bird and considered a pest also.

Pest or not they are pretty and I enjoyed seeing and shooting them.
We have them in flocks of 100's, they are something to see as they head to roost in the evening. They fly in a tight flock twisting and turning in a beautiful aerial display.
Nice job bringing out the colours Roger. Seeing them probably means civilization is creeping closer. I only see them near the cities. (They'll make greal eagle food.)

I do hope you be wrong about the civilization thing.
Nice colors, indeed! #4 for me.
