The White-eared Myza or Greater Sulawesi Honeyeater (Myza sarasinorum) is a species of bird in the Meliphagidae family, with only its sharp calls revealing its presence.
It is endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is regularly observed by specialised birding tours at Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi. Field observers have remarked on its squirrel-like behaviour as it scurries about the branches of moss-laden trees.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane, usually between 1700-2800 metres.
