Ituri 20 May 2012 Should be an amethyst starling, can't think of anything else in that aviary that would even be close.

Chlidonias 20 May 2012 I was thinking it might be an immature male. I don't know what they look like but I would assume the young birds are coloured like females, and thus when colouring up into adult male plumage may look like this one??
