Zosteropidae — White-eyes

Luzon Striped Babbler, Zosterornis striatus, is a passerine of the white-eye family found in eastern Luzon in the northern Philippines. It was described by Ogilvie-Grant in 1894. It lives in lowland and foothill forest, including disturbed and heavily altered woodland, and is mainly a bird of the forest floor and understorey. Its most useful field mark is the heavy dark streaking on the belly, together with a grey face, a clear striped moustache and a faint eyering. It is also known from Bataan and is affected by habitat loss.
