Crookshank's white-eye

Zosterops crookshanki

Crookshank's white-eye, Zosterops crookshanki, is a bird of the mountains on Goodenough Island in the D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago off south-eastern New Guinea. It belongs to the white-eye group and is linked to moist montane forest in the tropics. It has a white eye ring, rounded wings and sturdy legs. It is sociable and gathers in large flocks. The form from the D'Entrecasteaux Islands has at times been treated as a separate species, the Oya Tabu white-eye, on the basis of differences in plumage, iris colour and vocalisation.
