Acridotheres cinereus Bonaparte, 1850
Sturnidae — Starlings, Rhabdornises
Pale-bellied Myna, Acridotheres cinereus, is a starling in the family Sturnidae that breeds in southern Sulawesi. It is confined to the south-western peninsula of the island, south of Ranteapo, and has also been introduced to Tawau in Sabah, Borneo. It is often mistaken for the name white-vented myna, but that name is not recommended for it. The bird shows a pale belly and white vent, with a white wing bar and tail bar. Its bill is amber, its legs and feet are yellow, and young birds are browner.
