The Grey-throated White-eye (Zosterops rendovae) is a species of bird. Its family, the Zosteropidae, is probably not valid and belongs into the Timaliidae instead. It is found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Contrary to the common name, it is distinguished from its relatives by its green breast and lack of white eye-ring.[verification needed]
