Spodiopsar

Spodiopsar is a genus of Asian birds in the family Sturnidae.

Taxonomy
The genus Spodiopsar was introduced in 1889 by the English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe. The name was to replace Poliopsar, introduced by Sharpe in 1888, which was preoccupied by Poliopsar Cassin, 1867. Sharpe subsequently designated the type species as Sturnus sericeus J.F. Gmelin, 1789, the red-billed starling. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek spodios meaning "ash-coloured" and psar meaning "starling".

The genus contains two species.
