The warbling white-eye is a 10–11cm olive-green bird with a yellow throat, pale-green underparts and a prominent white eye-ring. Its rounded wings and slender bill suit agile feeding among foliage. It consumes fruit, nectar and insects, searching leaves, flowers and bark for prey. Birds are highly social outside the breeding season and may forage in mixed-species flocks. Its East Asian range includes eastern China, while some migratory populations winter on Hainan. (Wikipedia, general species account)
