Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A tiny warbler-like songbird with a pale eye-ring. May comprise multiple species. Most forms are greenish above and grayish-white below with a yellow undertail and variable amounts of black on the front of the head. The Morotai subspecies is distinctive, with a jet black head, a broad white eye-ring, a pale forehead line, a pale patch between bill and eye, a gray back, and no yellow below. Singles, pairs, or groups inhabit forest, edge, and cultivated areas in lowlands and hills. Confined to the north Moluccas. Separated from Warbling White-eye by whitish or gray underparts. Gives a high-pitched twittering song, characteristic of white-eyes.
