Red-winged Starling Onychognathus morio
The Red-winged Starling comes from East and South Africa. It has glossy blue-black
plumage with rufous orange wing edges (more visible in flight).
The male, above, has darker midnight blue plumage, including his head.
The female, above, has slightly lighter plumage and a grey head and throat.
They will socialise in flocks outside of the breeding season, but breeding pairs are aggressively territorial.
Like many other starlings, they sometimes play the role of oxpeckers.
