Connect Wall - find the groups

Question

This is my first attempt at an only connect wall and honestly, I expect it to be solved within the hour, if not the first 10 minutes.

|  Angel    |  Hollywood  |  Werewolf   |  Heron     |
|  Starling |  Goose      |  Walker     |  Rudd      |
|  Sheriff  |  Moorhen    |  McCartney  |  Doctor    |
|  Jester   |  Beast      |  Iceman     |  Gambit    |

Rules:

The 16 words above can be split into 4 different categories, each with 4 words in it.
Your task is to present the words sorted into their categories with an explanation of what the categories are.

Perfect, well done! Can you spot the hidden 5th group as well? (which takes one from each of the other groups) – AHKieran Dec 12 '18 at 09:39
At first glance i see a connection to Destiny 2: Walker (enemy), Starling (Starling Bolt - legendary Sparrow ), Jester (Gemini Jester - Exotic boots for hunter), Gambit (game mode). But i'm not sure about that :) – Quantoss Dec 12 '18 at 09:47
that's not it :) – AHKieran Dec 12 '18 at 09:53

I only got one group, and it wasn't even right, but anyway - here's the hidden fifth group:

Goose, Iceman, Jester, Hollywood - nicknames of Pilots in Top Gun

Do I win a wooden spoon or something?
