Subspecies
No subspecies.
Relationships uncertain; seems to be distantly related to Black-capped White-eye (Zosterops atricapilla), Everett's White-eye (Zosterops everetti), Yellowish White-eye (Zosterops nigrorum) and others. Very different from other members of genus in region in several features. Although birds from Flores slightly smaller on average than those from Sumba, difference considered too trivial to warrant naming of geographical subspecies.
