The green white-eye (Zosterops stuhlmanni) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The green white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the African yellow white-eye (since renamed the northern yellow white-eye) (Zosterops senegalensis). It is now considered as a separate species based in part on the phylogenetic relationships determined in a 2013 molecular study.[1][2][3][4]
Four subspecies are recognised:[4]
