The red-winged has a dark eye and the female a grey head; also the bill of the red-winged is more robust. Apart from that, you are quite right ;-)

I did not know that starlings are "oxpeckers" ;-) or is it only the red-winged ones -O-

Also the pale-winged!

Note: Klipspringer hair is the best hair for nest building, it's hollow and optimal for insulation.
