Lamprotornis pulcher (Statius Muller, 1776)
Lamprotornis pulcher is a distinct rufous-bellied starling identifiable by key plumage and eye traits that separate it from related starling species.
Lamprotornis pulcher is classified as one of the rufous-bellied starlings, and it is the only rufous-bellied starling found across most of its range. Its pale eye distinguishes it from both Hildebrandt's starling and Shelley's starling, while its lack of a white breast band sets it apart from the splendid starling. Its plumage is predominantly glossy dark-green to blue, and it has a clearly defined non-glossy dark head and breast.
