Rose coloured thrush or ouzel, Rosy starling, with black head and crest, rose-coloured breast. Sturnus roseus (Turdus roseus) Edward Donovan (1768-1837) was an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist and engraver. He wrote and illustrated a series of volumes on birds, fish, shells and insects, opened his own museum of natural history in London, but later he fell on hard times and died penniless.
