These birds always throw me. In the early mornings, they perch on a utility line with their feathers absolutely sparkling in the sun. I know juvie robins can have a heavily speckled breast, but so do starlings at some point in their many stages of development. Always stunning and beautiful. Which bird do I have here?
Everything except the bill color definitely looks like a Common Starling. I guess non-breeding ones could have black bills.
Thanks,

Yep, Common Starling

Thanks so much. They're fascinating to me.
