Zosterops paruhbesar Irham et al., 2022 | |
Zosterops paruhbesar has a yellowish head, throat, vent and mid ventral stripe. The flanks are greyish and the flight feathers and tail feathers are brown. Like many other white-eyes, it has a ring of white feathers around the eye.[4][5] The Wangi-wangi white-eye's bright yellow bill sets it apart from the Wakatobi white-eye, the only other white-eye on Wangi-wangi, as well as other white-eye species in the broader region.
