Sangkar White-eye

Zosterops melanurus Hartlaub, 1865

Sangkar White-eye, Zosterops melanurus, is a passerine of the Zosteropidae that breeds in Java and Bali in the Oriental Region. It lives in forested places on those islands, and in Java it is usually recorded from 200–1,600 m, though it also turns up lower down. Hartlaub described it in 1865. It was once treated as the same species as the Indian white-eye, but is now recognised separately. Two subspecies are known, with eastern Java and Bali birds differing from those in western Java, and the forms meet and interbreed where their ranges overlap.
