The Wangi-wangi white-eye (Zosterops paruhbesar), locally known as sui,[1] is a species of songbird in the white-eye family.[2] It is endemic to a single island, Wangi-wangi Island, in the Wakatobi Islands, Indonesia.[3] Zosterops paruhbesar has a yellowish head, throat, vent and mid ventral stripe. The flanks are greyish and the flight feathers and tail feathers are brown. Like many other white-eyes, it has a ring of white feathers around the eye.[4][5] The Wangi-wangi white-eye's bright yellow bill sets it apart from the Wakatobi white-eye, the only other white-eye on Wangi-wangi, as well as other white-eye species in the broader region.
