Overview
The Micronesian myzomela (Myzomela rubratra) is a small honeyeater. It is found on the Caroline and Mariana archipelagos, both part of Micronesia. It occurs in and around the edges of forests, as well as coconut plantations, coastal strand, savanna brush, villages, towns, and gardens.
Both sexes have a predominantly black or brown body with scarlet patches—the location and coloration, however, varies widely by subspecies.
