Hi Bruce,
I'm at work so don't have access to my records, but
that sounds very much like my experience last year of a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater
that hung around for about three weeks (though without the White-plumes). It was
the first time I had recorded YTHE at my Kambah GBS site in 14 years. Haven't
seen one (yet?) this year, but there are a couple, possibly three, White-plumes
hanging around for the past three weeks.
And this morning I had a fully-intermediate
Crimson/Eastern Rosella hybrid in the garden.

After an absence since Thursday of last
week, a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater is back in my GBS site this morning. It
was together with 9 White-plumed Honeyeaters, as was the bird
which was here last Thursday.
That's 3 consecutive GBS weeks that the species has
been here - which from looking through my ABR's, seems to be a pretty unusual
recording occurrence.
Bruce
