Common Myna
The Common Myna is readily identified by the bare yellow patch behind the eye. The bill and legs are bright yellow. It obeys Gloger's rule in that the birds from northwestern India tend to be paler than their darker counterparts in southern India. Sadly in Australia, the birds are wrongly considered as an invasive pest with the result that there have been attempts to eradicate them.
