Green-fronted or Black-fronted White-eye

Zosterops [minor or chrysolaemus] (= Zosterops minor) Meyer, AB 1874

The green-fronted white-eye is a songbird species. It is closely related to the Old World babblers, and its family Zosteropidae might better be included in the Tiimalidae. Some sources include this species within Z. atrifrons, the black-crowned white-eye. The black-fronted white-eye was formerly considered a subspecies, and until it was split as a distinct species, the name "black-fronted white-eye" was also used for Z. minor. Source: Wikipedia
