Siamese pied myna


The Siamese pied myna is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. Its plumage is black and white, with a black collar. It is found in southern Myanmar to Thailand and Laos. It previously was considered a subspecies of the pied myna, which has now been split into three species. It can be distinguished from the Indian [pied myna] and Javan pied myna by more extensive white streaking on its forehead from both and a wider extent of bare red-orange facial skin around the eye compared to G. contra, but much less compared to G. jalla.
