The southern yellow white-eye (Zosterops anderssoni) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in parts of southern Africa. It was formerly considered conspecific with the African yellow white-eye. The southern yellow white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the African yellow white-eye (Zosterops senegalensis; renamed the northern yellow white-eye), but it is now considered as a separate species based on the phylogenetic relationships determined in a molecular study in 2013. Three subspecies are recognised: Z. a. anderssoni Shelley, 1892 – east and south Angola and north Namibia to southwest Tanzania, west Mozambique and north South Africa Z. a. Wikipedia →
