White-eared myza, or the greater Sulawesi honeyeater (Myza sarasinorum), is a small honeyeater about 20 cm long. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and is often seen in Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi. Its habitat is montane forests at elevations around 1,700–2,800 meters. The bird is usually heard by its sharp calls rather than seen, and observers note its squirrel-like movements as it scurries through mossy branches. The species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN. It was described in 1895 by Meyer and Wiglesworth.
