Atoll Starling Aplonis feadensis

A medium-sized, uniformly black starling with a glossy purplish and bluish sheen. In flight looks rather pot-bellied. Eye distinctively pale yellow. Juvenile uniformly sooty brown, scaly beneath. Found in forest and coconut groves on remote atolls. Similar to Singing Starling, but distinguished by pale eye of adult and scaling instead of streaking on belly of juvenile. Common call is a loud rising “weee-eeee.” Also gives a soft chattering.
