Bare-eyed Myna, Streptocitta albertinae, is a starling found in the tropical open lowland forests of Taliabu and Mangole in the Sula Islands east of Sulawesi. It is a large, long-tailed bird in the family Sturnidae. Its name comes from the broad area of dark bare skin around the eyes, which is its most notable feature. It has also been known as the Sula magpie because of its likeness to a magpie. It was described by Schlegel in 1865.
