Hildebrandt's starling (Lamprotornis hildebrandti) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. It forms a superspecies with and has previously been included in the same species as Shelley's starling, a migratory species ranging from Ethiopia and Somalia to Kenya. Both of these species have also been combined into a superspecies with the chestnut-bellied starling of West Africa.[2] It was originally placed in the now defunct genus Notauges.[3] The species is named for Johann Maria Hildebrandt, a German collector who was the first European to obtain specimens.[4]
