The Daurian starling, or purple-backed starling, is found in the eastern Palearctic from eastern Mongolia and south-eastern Russia to North Korea and central China, in boreal and temperate forest. It is distinguished from other starlings by its dark mantle and crown and narrow wing bars, and was moved from Sturnus to the resurrected genus Agropsar after two studies in 2008 (Wikipedia, general species account).
