Hello! These birds don’t look spotted enough to be starlings. I understand there is a spotless starling but not in the UK. Are they common starlings?

That is a mixed flock of Starlings, adults and juveniles, the ones with the yellow bills being the adults

Juvenile Starlings are pretty monotone and dull - they don't get their adult plumage until after the first moult.
