Black-crowned white-eye

The black-crowned white-eye (Zosterops atrifrons) is a songbird species. It is closely related to the Old World babblers, and its family Zosteropidae might better be included in the Tiimalidae. Its subspecies from the Sulawesi region might warrant recognition as distinct species Z. subatrifrons. The Sangihe white-eye (Z. nehrkorni) and the Seram white-eye (Z. stalkeri) were formerly included in Z. atrifrons, as is still, on occasion, the black-fronted white-eye (Z. minor).

gollark: There can't not be one.
gollark: Well, there has to be a lowest heat fuel.
gollark: How is it "cheeseable"?
gollark: Also, again, I'd quite like designs for LEA fuel.
gollark: So I guess a MSR checkbox and the ability to assign fuels to cells separately if that was ticked is enough.
