Wangi-wangi White-eye

Zosterops paruhbesar

The Wangi-wangi white-eye (Zosterops paruhbesar), locally known as sui, is a species of songbird in the white-eye family. It is endemic to a single island, Wangi-wangi Island, in the Wakatobi Islands, Indonesia.

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. 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.
