Green yellow red roundel with yellow fivepointed star in the central disk. The
diameters of disks are approximately 4:3:2. The star does not reach
quite the edge of the yellow disk. It must have been changed since,
possibly in 1996 when the current flag was adopted, too.

The [no more] current Ethiopian roundel has the classical concentric pattern, green - yellow - red, but with thin green and yellow rings.
It was the roundel used from 1985. It was also used as a fin flash.

According to Album des Pavillons issue 2000 [pay00]
the roundel with five-pointed star is again in use.

In Flaggenmitteilung no. 108 (April 1985) I found this air force roundel.Six points star, with the rays of the same size touching the yellow circle.
It is the roundel used from 1974 til 1985. No fin flash.

In my book (1967):
Ethiopia. As drawn but with a yellow ring narrower than the green ring, and an unusual 6 pointed solid yellow star. Take the Israeli star, which I think of as two overlapping triangles, and make the triangle which has a point at 6o'clock, smaller than the other "triangle". The larger "triangle" is not really a triangle, because its sides angle-in very slightly so that the points of the smaller triangle are not obscured. It is perfectly clear and well drawn, and I think too complicated to be a printing error.
David Prothero, 12 July 1998
Six points star with 3 rays touching the yellow intrim circle
(those in 12,~4 and ~7 o'clock) while the other three had shorter rays. No
fin flash.

In the pre Italian occupation era (1924-1936) they used a green-yellow-red
triband both as "roundel" (1:2) and fin-flash (1:1)
