Male (type).--Above bright olive-yellow, lighter on rump; forehead

and lores golden yellow; ear-coverts and sides of neck like the back;

a wide circle of short, silky, white feathers about the eye bordered

below by a dusky line; below bright lemon-yellow; sides slightly dusky;

wing-feathers and rectrices dark brown edged with olive-yellow. Iris

brown; bill black, but basal two-thirds of lower mandible leaden

blue; legs and nails flesh-color. Length, 114; wing, 53; tail, 38;

culmen from base, 12; bill from nostril, 8; tarsus, 16.

Female.--Similar to the male in color. Wing, 51; tail, 37; culmen

from base, 12; bill from nostril, 8; tarsus, 15.

In color this species is similar to Z. richmondi, but it lacks the

black line under the eye and has the white eye-ring much wider than

in any other Philippine species.
