Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A small, active, mostly dull olive-green and gray warbler-like bird with a yellowish throat and a white eye-ring that is obvious with a good view. Endemic to São Tomé, where small groups regularly join mixed-species flocks. A fairly common resident in the canopy and middle levels of primary and secondary forest and tall trees in woodland, most common between 400 and 1600 meters of elevation. Calls include a dry, reedy trilling with some musical notes interspersed. Sao Tome White-eye may join the same flocks as Black-capped Speirops, which is slightly larger and has a dark cap.
