The
Asian Pied Starling (
Sturnus contra), also known as Pied
Myna, is a species of
starling found in South and Southeast Asia. It is sometimes placed in the "typical
myna" genus
Acridotheres and given that several species now usually placed in
Sturnus indeed seem to belong there (Zuccon et al. 2006), ths may well be correct.
