Pictured above are two distinct starling stages
Above, at top on the feeder, is a non-breeding adult in its Sept.-Feb. plumage. Below it is a moulting juvenile in its July-Sept. plumage. Other plumages (not shown here) are the juvenile (May-Aug. plumage) and the breeding adult (Dec.-Aug.)
The pale gray head of the moulting juvenile (above) is retaining only briefly.
