The long-tailed glossy starling (Lamprotornis caudatus) is a member of the starling family of birds. It is a resident breeder in tropical Africa from Senegal east to Sudan. The adults of these 54-cm long birds have metallic green upperparts, violet underparts and a 34-cm long purple tail. The face is black with a yellow eye. The sexes are similar, but juveniles are duller, with a brownish tone to the plumage. Like most starlings, the long-tailed glossy starling is an omnivore, eating fruit and insects. Order: Passeriformes, Family: Sturnidae, Genus: Lamprotornis, Species: Lamprotornis caudatus (Statius Muller, 1776).
