Very common bird in San Francisco. Wonder what it call?

Taken using D200 + 80-400VR at 400mm

Ho, that's one familiar-looking bird. They're common here in the UK as well - European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris). The ones in N. America are introduced and can very likely be descendants of those in the 1890 release... see here for details.
