The visible distinctions between males and females of the Starling Sturnus vulgaris have been well described in the banding literature (e.g., Davis 1960, Parks 1962, Schwab and Marsh 1967). But the differences are not, to my knowledge, described in any current field guide, so most non-banding birdwatchers in North America seem unaware that the sexes of this common species can be distinguished in the field under favorable conditions.
