The mountain starling, Vanuatu starling, Santo mountain starling or Santo starling (Aplonis santovestris) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. It is endemic to the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. It is restricted to cloud forest on that island.[2] The species was seldom seen in the 20th century and was at one point feared extinct, although a 1991 expedition managed to find a population high in the mountains.
