A small olive songbird with a bold whitish eyebrow and eye-ring. Underparts dull yellow. Juveniles duller with an ill-defined eyebrow. Parties found within forest, forest edge, and nearby scrub in foothills and mountains, attending mixed-species flocks. Restricted to Flores and Sumbawa. Lacks a crest and has a uniformly-colored dark crown, unlike Dark-crowned White-eye, and also shows a longer pale brow and a duller yellow underside. Song is a short, high-pitched warble. Calls include repetitive “pew-pew-pew” and wobbly “chlew” notes.
