The Black-fronted White-eye is a small, active white-eye with olive-green plumage, a distinctive black forehead, and yellowish underparts. It is endemic to a few islands in the Solomon Islands group, inhabiting forest interiors, forest edges, and secondary vegetation. Like other white-eyes, it feeds on insects, nectar, and small fruits, moving energetically through the canopy in small flocks.
Biak White-eye
The Biak White-eye is a near-threatened small passerine endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It has olive-green plumage with the characteristic white eye-ring of white-eyes. It forages in forest canopy and edges for insects, nectar, and small fruits, and is restricted to its small island range.
