Unidentified bird, a crake or a starling? Unfortunately it was too far to get a good photo, about the size of a blackbird.

3. Chris Lindorff I'm with David. I can't see it being other than a Starling. They throw some weird colours, but the spots (or chevrons) on the belly are telling me to think Starling.

These 7 bird species were in & around this paddock tree over a 20 minute period. Also, 2 Indian Mynas flew off as I approached. The 3rd pic shows another bird I was unable to identify - short tail, chased off by New Hollands immediately on arrival.
