Hi there, yes the photo isn't the best is it. Apologies. I can confirm it was definitely not a starling - being a Kiwi I have seen many in my life, up close and personal. This wasn't one. It's body was more like a Noisy Friarbird but I think it's understandable if this is categorised as an inconclusive sighting.
