Mayotte White-eye
Zosterops mayottensis Schlegel, 1867
Zosteropidae — White-eyes
Mayotte White-eye, Zosterops mayottensis, is a passerine in the family Zosteropidae and breeds on Mayotte and its satellite islands in the south-eastern Comoros. It was described by Schlegel in 1867. The bird is confined to this island group and is associated with subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest. A former form, the Marianne white-eye, was once treated as part of this species but occurred on Marianne and possibly other islands in the Seychelles and is now extinct.
