Sangkar White-eye
Zosterops melanurus
The sangkar white-eye (Zosterops melanurus) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is also known as the Sunda white-eye. It is found in forested habitats on the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. In Java it is typically found at elevations between 200–1,600 m (660–5,250 ft), but it sometimes occurs at lower elevations as well.
This species was formerly treated as conspecific with the Indian white-eye (previously the Oriental white-eye, Zosterops palpebrosus), but based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018, it was promoted to species rank.
