Blue-faced would be my guess Eric. People can make up all sorts of
names, so it may or may not be a local/folk name ...

I was watching a program last night about people buying a home in
Noosa, QLD. At one of the houses they looked at, there was a
birdfeeder with some fairly large honeyeaters that I could not ID on
a quick look (it has been 17 years since I last studied for a trip
to Oz). The real estate agent referred to them as powder-faced
honeyeaters. I was impressed as always with Australians' general
knowledge of nature, but could not recall such a bird or find it in
a list of honeyeaters.
I assume it is a local name, and the only impression I recall is
some blue on the face, but it seemed more powdery than I would
expect from a blue-faced honeyeater. Can anyone enlighten me as to
what these birds would have been.
Thanks all.
