Confused about the ID here... my first impression was that it is a chestnut-tailed starling Sternus malabaricus. After looking it up in Grimmett's book, it somewhat resembles a juvenile Brahminy Starling S. pagodarum. The illustrations aren't providing much help.
Clicked a few days ago in my backyard in Karwar.

Thanks, C&C welcome, look forward to your help with the ID.
