I was wondering about the name/ I think it is fascinating how the genetics
works - you get these two similar looking birds and the Tasmanian black
headed pops up in the middle...
Chloropsis is green eyed...beware the green eyed monster :)

How about Obscure Occidental Melithreptus?
Slater used the bland Western Honeyeater. An American website that keeps
track of taxonomic changes suggested Swan River Honeyeater. I am not sure
if they made that up themselves.
Actually I think I was wrong when I said it would be M. whitlocki. I think
it will in fact be M. chloropsis.
