White-eared myza

The white-eared myza or greater Sulawesi honeyeater (Myza sarasinorum) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae, with only its sharp calls revealing its presence.

The white-eared myza is approximately 20 cm long.

It is regularly observed by specialised birding tours at Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi.

Field observers have remarked on its squirrel-like behaviour as it scurries about the branches of moss-laden trees.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane, usually between 1700 and 2800 metres.
