Comments: Hann Park, near Dakar, Senegal. Added to Wikipedia. Shifting colors of purple, green and blue in the sunlight. Usually seen in small flocks (But I haven't been to the bush where for all I know the flocks might number in the 100s of birds). Like most starlings, noisy and energetic.This pic more fun large.
