And Another Bird ID Needed

Just looking through my Chester Zoo pics and found a few species that I\'ve still not ID\'d. So any help much appreciated.

Very difficult picture but I go for Red-winged starling.

It turns out I've already had a Red-winged Starling ID'd for me at Chester Zoo, back in March.

Both these birds were photographed in the same outdoor area and only a couple of minutes apart. This one has all black plumage whereas the previous one has bluish body plummage and a grey head, which is why I wouldn't have connected them as the same species. However looking at images on the net it seems that these different plumage colours do occur.

This is the pair (I presume) in the Tsavo aviary.
