Anyone know this bird species? It's some kind of tropical bird. Shot in a zoo.

Sometimes on websites of a zoo they list their animals. It might be on there.

I tried that. Worked for another one, but not this one. I should have looked around to see if they had them named somewhere.

Yeah, had that problem once myself. But it seems that Mike has a good guess.

Found this though, looks like the same bird. It's just labeled as a "starling".
So shelley's starling it is. Or maybe there is more than one kind of "starling" with different degrees of head color.
Actually, I think I found it. It's a superb starling.

Thanks for the help!
