Morotai white-eye explained

The Morotai white-eye (Zosterops dehaani) is a species of bird in the family Zosteropidae. It is endemic to Morotai in the northern Moluccas.[1] It was separated from the cream-throated white-eye based on distinct plumage, exceptional dawn song, and submontane/montane ecology [2] [3]
