Lamprotornis hildebrandti (Hildebrandt's Starling)

Wikipedia Abstract

Hildebrandt's Starling (Lamprotornis hildebrandti) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. It forms a superspecies with and has previously been included in the same species as Shelley's Starling, which is a migratory species ranging from Ethiopia and Somalia to Kenya. Both of these species have also been combined into a superspecies with the Chestnut-bellied Starling of West Africa. It was originally placed in the now defunct genus Notauges.
