Reference for when a metric on a four-manifold is Kahler?

In a paper of Derdzinski1 (Proposition 5), he proved that if $\delta W^+=0$ and $W^+$ has at most two distinct eigenvalues, then the metric is (locally) conformally Kahler, and if in addition the scalar curvature or $|W^+|^2$ is constant, then the metric itself is Kahler.

I was wondering are there further characterization of Kahler metrics on four-manifolds? Thank you very much.
