Silky Starlings (Spodiopsar sericeus)

Yongxiu, Jiangxi, January 2025
Kind of an annoying photo, with the birds half in bright light and half in shade, and I had to crop it right in because there was a great white tree trunk full in the foreground to the left.
 
They are really common around the Lake Poyang area, big flocks in the towns feeding on fruiting trees along the roadsides and in parks. I'm guessing they just move around where the food is.
