Sri Lanka White-eye
Zosterops ceylonensis Holdsworth, 1872
Zosteropidae — White-eyes
Sri Lanka White-eye, Zosterops ceylonensis, is a passerine of the white-eye family that lives in Sri Lanka, where it breeds in the Oriental Region. It was described by Holdsworth in 1872. It is found in forests, gardens and plantations, especially in the highlands, and is a resident breeder there. It is slightly larger than the Indian White-eye and is replaced above 4000 ft. It can be told from that species by its duller green back, broader yellow on the breast and the darker area between the eye and bill.
