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 Myanmar and China to Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It previously was considered a subspecies of the pied myna, which has now been split into three species.[1] 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.[2]
