Description: An examination of wing-moult and the morphology of museum specimens of the Redwinged Starling has revealed clinal variation in wing-and tail-length in eastern Africa, but only two distinct groups with regard to the timing of wing-moult. Multivariate analysis suggests that only two subspecies should be recognised, O. morio rueppellii in Ethiopia and O. m. morio from Kenya to South Africa. Overlap and intergradation occurs in northern Kenya and adjacent areas.
