White-Eye ID (Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum)

Kilimanjaro?

@drill that was my original idea, thanks

There are a few species in the US, not sure if Kilimanjaro is one of them. I know African Yellow and Oriental are.

@ThylacineAlive it has been kept.

@drill - "it has been kept", and then? Some advice which will make people more receptive to your posts might be to make sure that they actually contain useful information. Being vague or/and abrupt doesn't make you sound wise.

In any case, the bird in the photo is clearly not a Kilimanjaro White-eye because it is a different colour and the eye-ring is not wide enough. It looks likely to be a Yellow White-eye.

I currently have it listed as Zosterops senegalensis

@Chlidonias Mistake sorry, you should never misjudge people. I know it's been kept at Museum of Life and Science in NC and I think others.

@drill the Museum of Life and Science says on their website that they have Oriental White-eyes. What is your source for you "know" eurycricotus has been kept there?
