Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A small green-backed songbird with a bold white eye-ring, a black face, a yellow throat, a white belly, and a yellow base to the undertail. Occurs in forest and nearby secondary growth in lowlands and foothills, sometimes in small groups. Confined to Seram. Conspicuous white eye-ring separates it from all other species except Warbling and Ambon White-eyes, from which it differs in its black forehead. Gives chattering “twee” call notes and a short, rapidly undulating twittering song: “titli-titli-titli.”
