White-eyes (Zosteropidae)

Pale-bellied White-eye (Zosterops consobrinorum) - HBW 13, p. 454

French: Zostérops à ventre pâle German: Celebesbrillenvogel Spanish: Anteojitos Ventripálido
Other common names: Peninsular/Sulawesi/Celebes/Laoumera White-eye

Taxonomy: Zosterops consobrinorum A. B. Meyer, 1904, eastern mountain chain of south-east peninsula, Sulawesi.
Possibly closely related to Z. citrinella, or perhaps even conspecific. Birds from Butung differ vocally and morphologically from those in rest of species’ range, and very likely represent an undescribed race. Monotypic.

Distribution: SE Sulawesi (L Matano S to E coast and Mekonga Mts), Kabaena I and Butung I, and possibly also Muna I.
