Identificación
A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Note the yellow throat and the broad white spectacles around the eyes. The birds in the southwest part of the range have yellow underparts, while in most of the range the underparts are gray. Found in montane forest and lush gardens and scrub, usually in hyperactive flocks. Similar to Abyssinian White-eye, and some individuals are difficult to separate, but generally shows a broader eye-ring. Most common call is a high-pitched rising rattle. Song is a subdued, chatty sequence of “chew” notes.
