The juvenile observed on Sulawesi in 2021 was small and black, with dense white spotting over nearly the whole plumage, a yellow gape and a very short tail.
Two Black-crowned White-eyes brought small, probably arthropod prey to the juvenile four times during an observation in northern Sulawesi forest. This is a single published record.
