| Cleptornis marchei (Oustalet, 1889) |
The Golden White-eye (Cleptornis marchei) is a species of bird in the Zosteropidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Cleptornis. It is endemic to Northern Mariana Islands. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and urban areas. It is threatened by Brown tree snakes, which decimated the bird species of Guam and recently arrived on the island of Saipan, one of the two islands that compose the range of the Golden White-eye.
