Mountain starling

The mountain starling (Aplonis santovestris), also known as Vanuatu starling, Santo mountain starling or Santo starling, is a bird species in the family Sturnidae.

It is endemic to the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu.

It is restricted to cloud forest on that island.

[2] The species was seldom seen in the 20th century and was at one point feared extinct, although a 1991 expedition managed to find a population high in the mountains.
