It is a resident or partially migratory species found in wooded habitats in [[India]] and [[Southeast Asia]]. The species name is after the distribution of a former subspecies in the [[Malabar (Northern Kerala)|Malabar]] region. While the chestnut-tailed starling is a winter visitor to peninsular India, the closely related resident breeding population with a white head is now treated as a full species, the [[Malabar starling]] (''Sturnia blythii'').
