The Togian white-eye (''Zosterops somadikartai'') is a species of bird in the Zosteropidae family. It is found in the Togian Islands of Indonesia, where it is endemic. The species was first spotted by University of Indonesia researcher Mochamad Indrawan and his colleague Sunarto in 1997,〔''Science Codex'':(''Zosterops somadikartai - new bird species discovered in Indonesia'' )〕 and formally described in 2008. The species is named after Soekarja Somadikarta, a prominent Indonesian ornithologist. Unlike most species in the genus it lacks a white-ring around the eye.〔〔Mochamad Indrawan, Pamela C. Rasmussen, and Sunarto (2008) "A New White-Eye (''Zosterops'') from the Togian Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia" ''The Wilson Journal of Ornithology'' 120(1): 1-9 ((abstract) )〕 The species is believed to be endangered,〔 although it has not yet been assessed by the IUCN. ==Description== The Sulawesi region is believed to have at least 9-10 species that are found in isolated islands. This isolation has led to speciation with differences in morphology and vocalizations. This new species is most similar to the black-crowned white-eye (''Zosterops atrifrons'') but lacks the white eye ring which is narrow but conspicuous even in juvenile black-crowned white-eyes. The Togian white-eye has a less extensive black cap, clearer yellow throat, distinct pale base to the bill and reddish (brown in the black-crowned) iris. The species is separated from ''Zosterops surdus'' of the west-central Sulawesi by the paler and brighter olive above and clearer yellow on the throat. It differs from ''Zosterops subatrifrons'' of Peleng and Banggai Islands by the lack of the white eye ring, greyer breast and less extensive black crown. ''Zosterops anomalus'' of southern Sulawesi also lacks a white eye ring but it has tiny white specks around the orbital skin. Differences in the pitch and modulation of the song of ''Z. somadikartai'' are noted in comparisons with other ''Zosterops'' species known from the region.〔
