Goulin gris

<em>Sarcops calvus</em>, the Coleto, is a distinctive starling in the family Sturnidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The Coleto is endemic to the Philippines and is readily recognized by the large areas of bare pink skin on its face, which contrast with its predominantly black-and-white plumage. It is typically found in forest and forest-edge habitats, occupying aerial, terrestrial, and various environmental zones across its Philippine island range. The species feeds on fruits, nectar, and invertebrates, as is common among starlings, though specific diet data for <em>Sarcops calvus</em> are not enumerated in the available records. Biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan have not been specified in the available data. As a forest-dependent species, the Coleto is potentially sensitive to habitat loss driven by deforestation in the Philippines, though its Least Concern designation suggests that current populations remain at manageable levels. It is the sole member of the genus <em>Sarcops</em>.
