The gray-headed myna is commonly found throughout the Mumbai suburban region in the last quarter of the year and is understood to be a winter visitor to South India. It is also known as the Chestnut-tailed Starling. It frequents lightly wooded regions close to human habitation, feeding on flowering and fruiting plants, moving about individually or in pairs.
One can recognize it from its size (it is slightly smaller than the common myna), a yellow beak, grayish head and upper body, rusty-brown abdomen, and black wing quills.

The birds are quite difficult to spot in foliage due to their overall dull appearance. See pictures 1 & 2.
A sub-species, the White-headed Myna, can also be occasionally spotted alongside the more common nominate species. It has a whitish-gray head and neck parts, with slightly darker wings.
I was lucky to snap up these pictures of the white-headed myna, as it is quite uncommon in this region. See pictures 3 (with red-whiskered bulbul) & 4,
