I am not good in ID but this seems like a glossy starling. The 3rd picture might be a juv.

thanks bro, starting to get into the mood for birdy shooting recently.. like a tree fruit season and the trees are teeming with all kinds of birds!!! Got some blue and yellow ones too.. i'll try to get those next time.. but rarer..

The bird in the first 3 shots is an adult Asian Glossy Starling. The bird in the 4th shot is a juvenile.

the #1 shot is nice but it's not sharp enough?... the last shot is great just that soeme of the leafs are over exposed?

Now I understand why the experts shoot only in the morning and in the evening. The lighting in your shots is extreme with a lot of bright and dark areas, especially the bird in pic 3.
