Socotra White-eye
Zosterops socotranus Neumann, 1908
Zosteropidae — White-eyes
Socotra White-eye, Zosterops socotranus, is a passerine in the white-eye family that breeds on Socotra and in northern Somalia. It was described by Neumann in 1908. The bird is associated with the island of Socotra and Somaliland, and it is now recognised as a species in its own right. It was once placed with the Abyssinian white-eye as a subspecies, but later molecular work showed that it is not closely allied to that bird.
