Definitely a Banded Honeyeater but juvenile rather than immature. They
often breed in the dry country of NE Qld. Immatures are more like adults
with brown on the back and wings. Hanzab has it spot on. None of the
field guides depict the juvenile really well. It looks as if they have
all copied each other.
Lloyd Nielsen Mt Molloy Nth QldI had a look at this photo on ABID yesterday and agree with John Leonard on imm Banded Honeyeater (though it could be a juvenile can never remember the order). The picture in Pizzey and Knight is very similar.
