White-eye in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. (1 Viewer)

[beijingbabbler]

around elevation 2000m, in lush forest edge environment. Within Kilimanjaro NP. Eyering too thin for kilimanjaro white-eye, and habitat points to african (or southern) yellow instead of pale. any input appreciated! only photo I got

It seems there's no other option than, indeed, Southern Yellow White-eye Zosterops anderssoni

Pale White-eye (Zosterops flavilateralis) is likely in Kilimanjaro NP. See attached map from the Tanzanian Atlas project.

Yes Steve, but I considered also "2000m, in lush forest edge environment" while Pale White-eye is not known above 1800m and live in " semi-arid to dry subhumid bushy or wooded habitats, Acacia and thornbush, gardens and forest edge" (according to BOW).
