The Wangi-wangi white-eye (Zosterops paruhbesar) or locally called as Sui,[1] is a species of songbird in the white-eye family.[2] Zosterops paruhbesar has a near full yellow body with the head, throat, vent and mid vental stripe. The flanks are slightly grey and the flight feathers and tail feathers are brown. Around the eye of Zosterops paruhbesar is a ring of white feathers.[3][4]
This species is endemic to a single island named Wangi-wangi Island around the Wakatobi Islands, Indonesia.[5] In contrast, most species in the genus Zosterops inhabit areas 2,900 kilometres (1,800 mi) from Z. paruhbesar.[6]
