[Maine-birds] Redpolls & an odd Starling

A Hoary Redpoll continues in Appleton with a couple commons. Gary Roberts found this bird. Thanks for letting me hang in your neck of the woods! While watching the feeder birds some Starlings showed up. One had a bill like a sandpiper, twice the normal length of a starling & down curved. It was an adult bird and was getting along just fine. Is this just a bill abnormality? If anyone knows I'd like to learn more about it. Very interesting looking. Photos on ebird checklist:
