Is there a split/lump I missed or something else with Zosterops meyeni ?
Several references give obviously wrong information
http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/lowland-white-eye-zosterops-meyeni
Claim it is endemic to Philippines but give "the population in Taiwan has been estimated at c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs (Brazil 2009)." :eek!:
Same on Avibase map, said "endemic to Philippines" and "present in Taiwan".

Thank you for helping me to solve this problem and explain me what is the actual situation (such Taiwan population split or transferred to another species... Japanese White-eye???)
