Hi All,

Has anyone ever seen a different feather pattern on a fledged juvenile New 
Holland Honeyeater?  I saw a bird today at Kelly's Swamp which had a simpler 
pattern of colour than a normal adult.  The call was identical, so I'm 
wondering if it was a juvenile.  The Simpson & Day field guide doesn't show any 
variation in the plumage.

Unfortunately I couldn't quite focus on the bird before it decided that 
discretion was the better part of valour.
