Forests and disturbed woodlands on the island of Chuuk (Truk), Micronesia.
How to spot
Look for an entirely dull dark starling, often in the canopy or mid-story. Its uniform, non-glossy appearance and highly restricted range are key identifiers.

The Uniform Starling's remarkably plain plumage, lacking any strong iridescence, sets it apart from most other Aplonis species, giving it its common name.
