Basic stats

Range

Eastern Palearctic, from eastern Mongolia and southeastern Russia to North Korea and central China

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

The source gives no Sri Lankan range, so its place on the Sri Lankan list should be checked. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
