Cas,
In their Introduction, Christidis & Boles (2008) made a point of not
wanting to go there, saying "There seems no reason to make a parallel
change in English name from Regent Honeyeater to Regent Wattlebird".
I think it would have about as much chance of getting up, as a move
to change the Bald Eagle to White-Headed Fish-Eagle (which is a much
more accurate name).
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

It's interesting that C&B have lumped the Regent Honeyeater with the
wattlebirds and is now scientifically named Anthochaera phrygia.

Also discusses the positioning of chats within the honeyeaters,
