What intrigues me is the record of this species in the new Australian Atlas
(vide p 485 thereof).  As far as I can establish it is in 35S 149E and
doesn't look too far from the ACT (and in fact would seem highly likely to
overflown the ACT on its way there).

Has anyone contacted the nice Atlas folks to get details of this one?

  Hi all,

  I think it is pretty obvious that the observer, who I do not know, is
  confusing White-naped Honeyeaters with Black-chinned honeyeaters, even
  though it is late in the season for White-napes to still be in the local
  area. Tidbinbilla is a long way from the species core habitat, the Yellow
  Box - Ironbark woodlands well to the west of TNR. The fact that there was
  no
  unusual report forthcoming suggests the observer was having second
  thoughts
  about his identification, especially as Alastair informed him it was a
  potential first record locally.
