The pale white-eye also known as Kenya white-eye[2] (Zosterops flavilateralis) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in Kenya, eastern Tanzania, southern Ethiopia and southern Somalia.
Taxonomy
The pale white-eye was formally described in 1892 by the German ornithologist Anton Reichenow under the current binomial name Zosterops flavilateralis.[3][4] The specific epithet flavilateralis combines Latin flavus meaning "yellow" with lateralis meaning "of the sides".[5] The pale white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Abyssinian white-eye (Zosterops abyssinicus) but is now treated as a separate species.[6][7][8]
Two subspecies are recognised:[8]
- Z. f. flavilateralis Reichenow, 1892 – central, east Kenya to east Tanzania
- Z. f. jubaensis Erlanger, 1901 – south Ethiopia, south Somalia and north Kenya
