About the Siamese Pied Myna

The Siamese pied myna (Gracupica floweri) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. Its plumage is black and white, with a black collar. It is found in southern Myanmar to Thailand and Laos. It previously was considered a subspecies of the pied myna, which has now been split into three species. It can be distinguished from the Indian pied myna (G. contra) and Javan pied myna (G. jalla) by more extensive white streaking on its forehead from both and a wider extent of bare red-orange facial skin around the eye compared to G. contra, but much less compared to G. jalla.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 22 recordings for this species: 18 CC BY-NC-SA · 4 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
