Northern Yellow White-eye (Zosterops senegalensis)
About the Northern Yellow White-eye
The northern yellow white-eye (Zosterops senegalensis), formerly the African yellow white-eye, is a species of bird in the family Zosteropidae. It is found across sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal in the west across to southern Sudan in the east and south to northern Angola. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Angola white-eye. The northern yellow white-eye formerly included additional subspecies. These were split to create the southern yellow white-eye and the green white-eye based partly on the results of a molecular phylogenic study in 2013. Four subspecies are recognised: Z. s. senegalensis Bonaparte, 1850 – Mauritania and Senegal to northwest Ethiopia Z. s. jacksoni Neumann, 1899 – west Kenya and north Tanzania Z. s. demeryi Büttikofer, 1890 – Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast
