Upon observing the Seram white-eye, one will note the black crown and sides of the head, contrasting with the dark bronze upperparts. The rump boasts a striking yellow-bronze hue, while the sides of the breast and flanks are a subtle greyish-white. The bird's undertail-coverts are a vivid orange-yellow, and the thighs are a delicate whitish tone. The uppertail presents as a brownish-black. Both sexes share a similar plumage, but the immatures can be distinguished by a greener, more diffuse throat and a chin with more black intermixed among the feathers.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
