Definitely starling, not a popular bird by any means. I prefer the first shot due to the majority of bird shots not captured with their mouths open.

starling it is then...there's a bunch of babies down in the hole...and I'm looking forward to seeing them poke their beaks out...

update...the fledglings are out and the mom and pop have kicked out the redheads from downstairs and taken over THAT nest too..."unpopular" is putting it mildly...
