Indian Pied Myna

The Indian pied myna is a starling of the Indian subcontinent, found mainly on the plains and in the foothills up to about 700 m, in small groups, and often in cities and villages though less bold than the common myna. Its main distribution runs from the Gangetic plains south to the Krishna River. The source does not describe its status in China. (Wikipedia, general species account)

It is strikingly black and white, with a yellowish bill with a reddish base and reddish bare skin around the eye. The upperparts, throat and breast are black while the cheek, lores, wing coverts and rump are white. It forages mainly on the ground but perches on trees and buildings, with a wide repertoire of liquid whistles, trills, buzzes, clicks and warbles. Four to six glossy blue eggs are laid a day apart, with incubation beginning after the third or fourth egg. (Wikipedia, general species account)
