The yellowish white-eye (Zosterops nigrorum) or golden-yellow white-eye, is a species of bird in the family Zosteropidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests.
Ebird describes it as "A small bird of lowland and foothill forest and more open wooded areas. Olive-green above and bright yellow below with a yellow patch between the eye and bill. Note the broad white eye-ring. Usually found in single- or mixed-species flocks where it is a core species. Occurs together with Lowland and locally with Mountain White-eyes, but Yellowish has a yellow rather than pale-gray belly. Song consists of jumbled whistles. Calls include a typical white-eye "tweet" or trill."
Eight subspecies are recognised:
Forages in the understory for insects and often joins mixed-species flocks that include Blue-headed fantail, Golden-crowned babbler, Lemon-throated leaf warbler, Black-crowned babbler, Flame-templed babbler and other small birds. Adults with enlarged gonads from January to May but not much else is known.
Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forest, second growth and plantations up to 1,250 meters above sea level.
The IUCN has classified the species as being of Least Concern as it has a large range and it is common throughout. However, deforestation in the Philippines continues throughout the country due to slash and burn farming, mining, illegal logging and habitat conversion.
