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.
